Gravitas
2008/2009
Choreography: Jessica Cohen and Jim Ennis
Performers: Rosalind Brooks, Ian Dolan, Beth Powlesland, Wesley Pritchard, Lara Ward and Mike Williams,
Music: Sion Organ and Frank Naughton
Gravitas is immersed in a derelict urban city outskirts, with an assembled group of eight performers playing out their fractured narratives. Jessica Cohen and Jim Ennis decided to immerse the performers in this no-mans-land where the interactions, dances, words, black-and-white film, rapid-fire images and relationships continuously explode, implode then settle. All this cross-disciplinary action reflects events from the performers’ personal histories and Earthfall’s reaction to global events from Guantanamo to Iraq.

Out of harmony comes discord.
GIG, a high-octane satirical rampage through the human condition with dark humour, bold dance, live music and film.
GIG: the story of a band that encapsulates the world outside with songs, film and extreme dances of love and loathing. The transient and turbulent relationships, trashed instruments, bloody noses and drunken reconciliations are witnessed as they struggle to make sense of their world.
This 20th anniversary production follows a band on tour, living in a surreal world removed from the reality of life. Transporting you on an emotional ride, it takes you from the exciting to the ridiculous and the comical to the poignant.
