Dance Nation

State Theatre Company is organising a new season of theatre for 2020!听

Rehearsals are underway for our first show听Dance Nation听by Clare Barron,听补苍诲 it is already looking fierce. A co-production with Belvoir Theatre in Sydney,听Dance Nation听will be brought to life at the Scott Theatre as part of this year鈥檚 Adelaide Festival.听

Somewhere in America, an army of teenage competitive dancers is plotting world domination. One routine at a time.

As the national title looms and the dancers fight it out for the lead role, reality and fantasy blur in this award-winning pageant of ferocious girl power.

Part-Dance Moms, part-Hunger Games,听Dance Nation听is a crushingly funny satire of ambition. The New York Times says it 鈥渃onjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with such being-there sharpness and poignancy that you鈥檙e not sure whether to cringe, cry or roar with happiness. Blazingly original and unsettlingly familiar.鈥

Starring Tara Morice (Strictly Ballroom),听Dance Nation听will blow your sequins off.

  • Monday the 2nd听of March at 8pm, with a preshow tactile tour at 7pm,听补苍诲
