Shiver

Shiver is searching, like most of us, to try and understand the fragility of life. The Australian

Life often unfolds in unexpected directions.

Four strangers find themselves trapped in an unknown place with no exit.

Together they dance tango, search for answers and recall moments when life ran out of control. From the exuberance of young love to the grief of loss, their only hope of moving on is to reconcile the past.

Featuring Danielle Micich’s emotive dance theatre and Kingsley Reeve’s filmic soundscape,  Shiver explores the vulnerability of being human and the stories that connect us.

The four dancers Micich selected are all excellent. They are dynamic, interesting to watch and appear almost as if in rehearsal (in a good way) – they are so relaxed, and often smile or even exchange a short laugh with each other. Gerard Van Dyck, Leanne Mason, Jacqui Claus and Lewis Kilpatrick make this dance work highly accessible, and interact with each other in a way that doesn’t seem choreographed at all.Arts Hub
