7 Dances for 7 People

A transcendent invocation

Fresh from acclaimed commissions with Sydney Dance Company and Lucy Guerin Inc, Tra Mi creates choreography that bends our perception of time, rhythm and expectation.

Her latest work, 7 Dances for 7 People, brings together 7 of Naarm's most exceptional dancers in a hypnotic ritual of precision, endurance and devotion.

Across cultures and throughout history, the number seven has symbolised perfection and totality. 7 is seen as the union of the spiritual (3) and the physical (4); offering a compelling lens through which to consider the act of dancing.

Possessed by this equation and driven by the cultural mythology surrounding the number, 7 Dances for 7 People transforms numerical obsession into movement.
