I Don’t Care About Your Dreams
As we walk down a street, we see the buildings, we see the windows ... all different sorts of windows ... and what do we ‘see through’ these windows? What do we see through these veils of varying transparencies between ‘out’ and ‘in’? An exploration in dance.

This power-packed performance is a humorous and compelling new work about competition. Basketball, acrobatics, and ‘ballsy’ comedy meet contemporary dance in a race against time, and each other... “Why is Cinderella bad at sports? Because she has a pumpkin for a coach, and she runs away from the ball...” Chrissie Parrott Arts • MAP #5, VENUE #55 PREVIEW 4 Feb @ 7.30p m • $15 5-9 Feb @ 7.30p m • $20 60 mins • G • WA • world premiere
