| Drawn from ideas related to the Hindu goddess of time and change, Kaal (meaning time) is the result of a three-year collaboration between Sydney-based dance artists Anandavalli Sivanathan and Narelle Benjamin, each of completely different physical disciplines and backgrounds but both with Eastern influences and interests, working together with Parvathy Baul, singer, dancer and storyteller from West Bengal, India. This project is new commission by Campbelltown Arts Centre as part of its Intercultural Dance Project, which draws together a NSW-based dance artist and an artist of their choice with a different cultural background over a three year period and leads to the development of a series of new Australian dance works. The Intercultural Dance Project has been conceived as the starting point for inventive new dance styles and performance outcomes that emerge out of rich, varied styles and thematic concerns. Anandavalli is an internationally renowned dancer, choreographer and teacher of Bharatha Natyam and Kuchipudi, with a career spanning over 38 years. She established the Lingalayam Dance Company in 1984 which, under her direction, has emerged as arguably the most prolific Indian dance organisation nationally. Independent artist and choreographer Narelle Benjamin also achieved widespread acclaim as a dancer and in recent years her original choreographic language, which explores yoga practice as an aesthetic form from a dancer’s perspective. |

| NOW NOW NOW is experiment-as-performance that is exploring energy, time and consciousness. Three performers undertake conceptual live attempts to experience the question: can we be in the now? “People seek to be in the moment, yet through the pursuit of this, move further and further away from it. I am drawn to the paradox of this notion and how it parallels the act of performance – which is happening, both in real time between the audience and the performer, and yet is highly constructed. In this piece, the performers are not characters representing a greater humanity or society – we are ourselves, and this performance is a genuine attempt at the question: can we be in the now?” – Luke George Choreographer: Luke George Performers: Kristy Ayre, Timothy Harvey, Luke George Production Manager/Set & Lighting Design: Benjamin Cisterne Dramaturge: Martyn Coutts Costumes: Ede Strong and the Cast Producer: Alison Halit |
