Trolleys
Part dance. Part spectacle. Part ballet.
Five shopping trolleys appear in a public space. Two fall in love. One grapples to find a friend. And three ignite in a dance of anarchy over a breathtaking, high-octane, twenty-minute performance from the always-thrilling Shaun Parker & Company.
Shaun Parker & Company is a bold Australian dance company led by award winning Artistic Director/ Choreographer Shaun Parker, whose works have toured Australia, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, United States, Singapore, Germany, New Zealand and France. Shaun Parker’s London Olympic commission Spill, a fast and furious playground performance, was a hit at last year’s Art & About Sydney.
