Dance Massive 2009 - Morphia Series

Morphia Series

Described as one of the quietest, smallest piece of dance ever seen, yet one of the bravest and most compelling.

Another remarkable work from the award-winning creative partnership behind ‘Sunstruck’ (Melbourne Festival, 2008).This intimate, boutique performance transports the audience through a series of sensory experiences. Inspired by Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams this is a vivid encounter with image, sound, text and movement, which will surprise and enchant.

The highly acclaimed Morphia Series has been performed for the Melbourne and Adelaide audiences, and internationally; in Dublin, Glasgow, Zurich, Singapore and Portland.

Helen Herbertson is a seminal figure in Australian dance, she was the recipient of the 2007 Kenneth Myer Medallion for Distinguished Contribution to the Performing Arts.

Ben Cobham has made a remarkable contribution to the dance/theatre scene with yearly Green Room Awards for his lighting and design work. He has worked extensively with leading arts companies & directors both nationally and internationally.
