“The program…delighted, provoked and moved the audience. Mesmerising.”

- Dance Australia, 2023

Presented by Stephanie Lake Company, in association with Abbotsford Convent, ESCALATOR showcases the humour, depth, provocations, and sophistication of some of the city’s most interesting and diverse dance voices. Be taken on a wild journey to unexpected places, via the brains and bodies of our commissioned artists, in the stunning spaces of Abbotsford Convent.

“Prepare to be moved, surprised, delighted, and devastated,” chimes the opening night event program, and in the accelerated span of an hour or so, this “Escalator” proves true. Be extended. Be challenged. Be magnified. Be wigged. Be intensified.”

- Fjord Review, 2023
