Impulse is an exhilarating production of two dance works (Impulse and Shimmer) which cleverly combine live movement and music with cutting edge visual technology to create an unforgettable sensory feast.

The first work, Impulse, features the witty and dynamic strains of Michael Nyman's Second Quartet. It explores how music not only propels dance - but also inspires, directs and shapes it - and how movement becomes the materialisation of the sound itself. Shimmer, the second dance work - debuted to critical acclaim more than 10 years ago and has been re-invented for the 21st century. Set to South Australian composer Graeme Koehne's sumptuous score, Shaker Dancers - which explores the ecstatic dances of the American Shakers - this work is simply mesmerising.
