Geelong’s Attitude Dance Company (ADC) will bring two of its productions to the silver screen this weekend with a double bill showing in Geelong West.
Fantasy: A Double Bill by ADC’s director and founder Xavier McGettigen features two original works, The Dream and The Hero’s Journey, both of which were cancelled due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.
Determined to have the works viewed despite the cancellations, the company recorded performances of both works at the end of 2021.
McGettigan said the company was excited to bring the works to the public.
“We are thrilled to finally be able to share our work with audiences in Geelong,” McGettigan said.
“After the disappointment of having to cancel the production twice, we are excited to be able to showcase the hard work and dedication of our dancers.”
The Dream is an “ jazz dance spectacular” featuring the ADC Impact Ensemble, celebrating the big pop hits of the 80s such as Total Eclipse of the Heart and I’m So Excited.
The Hero’s Journey is an original contemporary dance work focusing on the struggle of the hero in their quest to defeat the evil empire, with additional dancers joining the Impact Ensemble.
All proceeds from the screening will go toward funding the ADC’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut later this year when the company premieres its latest work, Perfect Pairing: A Wine Tasting Dancegustation.
Fantasy screens at the Ukrainian Hall, Geelong West on Saturday, April 29. For more information, visit attitudedancecompany.com.au.
