‘The Stars Descend’ is a contemporary story about climate, hope and connection – an odyssey of dance and sound performances unfolding in five spectacular outdoor locations. Each location will be a chapter of our story that has been co-created by professional artists and local community members. These five teams will rehearse and perform in the splendour of their outdoor location, delivering five visually stunning, immersive experiences of movement and sound.
Each chapter takes place in a regional location that is situated along the Gondwana Link, a natural corridor of land that runs from Margaret River to Kalgoorlie. The audience can choose to experience The Stars Descend as a 15-day odyssey or as stand-alone chapters in single locations.
Spectacular performances taking place in Margaret River, Northcliffe, Porongurup, Fitzgerald Biosphere and Kalgoorlie.
An experience like no other – a once in a lifetime opportunity to soak up beautiful, powerful contemporary dance and sound design in extraordinary outdoor settings. Inspiration, connection, creativity.
