St Martins Youth Arts Centre / St Martins and Prue Bassett Publicity presents the world premiere of Banjos, Boots & Beyoncé – St Martins (a different kind of bush dance)
DATES: 6 – 8 July @
LOCATION: The SUBSTATION, 1 Market Street, VIC, Australia.
WEB FOR TICKETS: https://thesubstation.iwannaticket.com.au/…/banjos-boots-be…
Children all around Australia learn to bush dance every year. You did, I did, we all did. So what's the deal with a bush dance? What does it mean today? And will we still be Krumping in a hundred years' time? Take your partner by the hand as ST MARTINS throws the rule book away. Kids call the shots in this
riotous night of dance, banter and iced vovos. This is not your average bush dance, this is a contemporary reimagining through the lens of ST MARTINS' young artists.
Banjos, Boots & Beyoncé began its life after St Martins’ artists noticed just how many bush dances pop up in school social calendars – kids are still learning the dances as part of PE. During their investigations, they took a secret daggy delight in doing the do-si-do and hooking arms with strangers, but were left questioning what currency a bush dance actually holds for contemporary Australia. And will we still be Krumping in a hundred years’ time?
Award-winning director Luke Kerridge has teamed with the St Martins Ensemble - kids who participated in St Martins’ workshops in South Yarra, Northcote and St Albans, choreographer Ghenoa Gela, assistant director Dale Thorburn, designer Romanie Harper and DJ MzRizk, to create a work that reinforces the relevancy of social contact while questioning the clichés & nuances of Australian culture.
