Elements of Freestyle
Ish Dance Collective
What happens when you merge traditional theatre with breakdance, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX and freerunning?
In this adrenaline-fueled explosion of extreme urban sports, dance, music and theatre, the Netherlands’ ISH Dance Collective create a breathtaking spectacle of raw skill and artistry. Making its highly anticipated Australian debut, this season, exclusive to Sydney has a strictly limited run of just five performances.
Elements of Freestyle is about those redeeming seconds that make a complicated trick ultimately succeed; about the freestylers’ total focus on the moment, the ecstasy and the feeling of complete and total freedom.
In a spectacular fusion of breakdance, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX and freerunning, discover the artistry behind the tricks. Simultaneously both exquisitely beautiful and heart-poundingly exciting, director Marco Gerris’ (So You Think You Can Dance) show packs a punch. You simply will not believe your eyes.
Presented by Sydney Opera House and ISH Dance Collective.
