CONNECTING STORIES: In a project the first of its kind, QL2 Dance (ACT), Australian Dance Party (ACT) and Catapult Choreographic Hub (NSW), supported by the National Portrait Gallery collaborate to create a cross generational, cross regional dance project.
The collaboration built from YGEN to IGEN, a project which began in 2020 with ADP and QL2 working together across ages and stages of dance artists to create together, learn from each other and be inspired by all that dance brings to their lives – across our lives.
Connecting Stories is a commission of the National Portrait Gallery, with two iterations ‘Connecting Stories: Innovation’ & ‘Connecting Stories: Generations’, developed to reflect the exhibition “Shakespeare to Winehouse”.
As performing artists we offer a physical and ephemeral experience of visiting the NPG and the themes within this prolific exhibition, inviting you to feel and think and be kinaesthetically engaged with the importance of people – figures in our world and across time that have shaped it, and the incredible ways artists have evolved to capture their essence.
The first iteration Connecting Stories: Innovation was recently performed in April and the second Connecting Stories: Generation will run in June.
