1+1 in 2/4 Time:

Conversations between makers of dance and makers of music.

Dance and Music are intrinsically linked. Throughout history, the relationships between choreographer and composer have spawned some of our best loved music – Tchaikovsky and Petipa, Adam and Coralli , Delibes and Saint-Leon, Debussy and Diaghalev, Copland and Graham, Cage and Cunningham – none of the great classical and modern dance repertoire of the 19th and 20th century could have emerged without the collaborative creative energies of these makers.

But what becomes of this traditional working relationship in a 21st century conditioned by economic rationalisation and the global financial crisis? Hear some of our most respected makers of both dance and music discuss their own uniquely creative relationships and their vision for dance beyond 2009.

Guest choreographers include Gavin Webber, Francois Klaus, Natalie Weir and Lisa O’Neill in discussion with four of our leading composers including Iain Grandage and Guy Webster.

Presented by Queensland Music Festival, Brisbane City Council, Ausdance Queensland and Brisbane Powerhouse.
