Leigh Warren & Dancers and Zephyr Quartet in
IMPULSE

Impulse sees Leigh Warren & Dancers team up with the innovative South Australian string ensemble, Zephyr Quartet – to present two dance works: Impulse and Shimmer.

Shimmer was highly acclaimed in its premiere season and won both the inaugural Adelaide Critics’ Circle prize in 1997 and ‘Best Choreography’ at the Australian Dance Awards in 1999. Set to a sumptuous score that leaps from the joyous tones of SA composer Graeme Koehne’s Shaker Dancers – which explores the ecstatic dances of the American Shakers – this mesmerising work has been reinvented for the
21st Century.

Shimmer will be paired with a second dance work - Impulse, featuring the witty and sensual strains of Michael Nyman’s Second Quartet. The name is inspired by the relationship between music and dance and the production explores how music can propel dance, inspire it, direct it and shape it – and how movement becomes the materialisation of the sound itself.

“Shimmer leaves a warm glow and must be one of the showpieces of Warren’s repertoire.”
DB Magazine

“…triumphant success… Shimmer is a beautifully constructed and frequently beautiful interpretation of Graeme Koehne’s Shaker Dances…"
