DANCE USA THANK YOU FOR COMING: ATTENDANCE FAYE DRISCOLL ARTS HOUSE, NORTH MELBOURNE TOWN HALL M T W OCTOBER 10 11 12 17 18 19 This first part of New York dancemaker Faye Driscoll’s remarkable trilogy Thank You For Coming announced her as one of the dance world’s most striking and sought after talents. As warm and humorous as it is technically exquisite, her choreography is underscored by a humanity that envisions new modes of connection and communication. The borders between artist and audience soften, and theatre’s oft–forgotten function as a shared space is reaffirmed. Both ritualistic and chaotic, this is dance as complex and contradictory as the multitudes it has left in awe.
