DRILL Performance Company Inc in association with Ten Days on the Island presents
BE HERE
World Premiere
(Lutruwita/Tasmania)
Expanding from the grounds of St David’s Park in the heart of Nipaluna/Hobart, Be Here is a 25-minute site-specific outdoor dance work featuring meditative, sculptural movement created in response to the performance site.
A soft but rigorous challenge of focus and endurance for the dancers, audiences can experience the performance in promenade at their own pace. Underpinning the choreography for Be Here is an exploration of the unique experience of unison, the quality of simultaneity, of moving together or sharing the same moment.
The performance is set to an original musical score and sound-bed composed by esteemed Tasmanian musician Rachel Meyers, featuring field recordings taken from the performance environment with voice and ambient electronica. A collection of natural sounds and music will radiate across the park. Be Here is created by young people aged 14 – 25 who have collaborated to thread their reflections of landscapes, embodied and imagined, into one unison journey.

Presented in association with Ten Days on the Island, Be Here has been assisted through Arts Tasmania, the City of Hobart and by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
