Elbow Room

Created by Lisa Wilson

From one of Queensland’s most respected dance artists and exciting, emerging choreographic voices. 

Compelling and beautiful, this dance theatre production unites a formidable creative team of nationally renowned artists, delivering a generous mix of fiercely athletic yet beautifully crafted work. It is an intimate story, woven together by the memory of what has past or fallen, punctuated with provocative and insightful snapshots of the spaces that grow between us.

With original design and video imagery and acclaimed performance artists, this evocative dance work will captivate and engage. With warmth and humour, dislocation and bitterness; Elbow Room is ultimately exploring the silences that grow between us- and what has fallen and been lost along the way.

This project has received financial assistance from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland 

“Lisa's choreography is stunningly beautiful to watch. It keeps you on the edge of your seat as each individual movement holds such energy, yet contrasts with such sensual and dynamic qualities.” (audience feedback)

“Elbow Room was everything an audience wants in a show. There were moments of humour, suspense, and drama. You could really relate to what was happening, so much so, that at moments it even brought tears to my eyes. “ (audience feedback)

“The work was a fabulously entertaining glimpse into the intimacy of a past and present relationship, cleverly constructed and impeccably performed.” (audience feedback)
