We are going ahead with the Summer Solstice celebration and performance today. However due to the heat, the smoke and unpredictability of the terrible weather and fire conditions, we are scaling down the event.
We have also made arrangements to hold it indoors if necessary. Please make your own decision about attending or not. Of course, we would love to see you but we also totally understand if you decide not to come, especially when you have to make such a long journey in the heat.
We are hoping to film the performance in situ on Sunday, weather permitting. Let me know if you would like to attend this. And/or we may try to schedule the performance again in 2020. We will let you know if we do this and post advice to this website and Facebook.
Christmas and New Year greetings from Mirramu to all.

You are invited to a showing of studies for CRONE a new dance-theatre solo being developed by Elizabeth Cameron Dalman and directed by Kenneth Spiteri
The aged woman is rarely represented in our contemporary narratives, particularly on stage, and when she is, we often see her portrayed as fragile and disempowered. There is great value in challenging this perception
CRONE re-instates the significance of this archetype and the importance of what She represents.

This was a remarkable season in a very different cultural setting. It was nevertheless applauded with enormous enthusiasm in the huge theatre. 
The festival director, Amy Ho (pictured here to the right of Elizabeth and an audience member on her left) considered it to be one of the best events of this year’s festival.
The technical and administrative crews at the Kwai Tsing Theatre were outstanding resulting in a seamless season.
After Easter we were very happy to welcome back to Mirramu members of Dancecology from Taiwan to undertake ongoing work for the Contours dance film project begun in 2016.
