Thu 16 Apr - Fri 17 April
6pm
FREE (bookings essential - book via phone or in-person)
A normal living room environment - life as usual. But soon objects start to change, people change and the furniture might just take over…
Stuffed is a performance about our relationship with everyday objects.
Assisted by Ausdance Queensland through the Bell Tower Choreographic Workshop, Maartje Belmer works with Brisbane-based artists to mix Australian contemporary dance with Dutch object theatre. Studying contemporary dance in the Netherlands, Maartje developed a specialisation in object theatre while working with the highly acclaimed, Warner & Consorten.

A disturbingly funny dance theatre work, Score! has returned to Brisbane from seasons in New York and Miami. Score! offers a take on behind the scenes of reality TV.... a world where, according to the TV marketing gurus, “if you aren’t famous, you’re a failure!”
"Score! is a winner -- thoroughly engaging and accessible... Touchdown!" Olivia Stewart, The Courier Mail
