Dance Nation

State Theatre Company is organising a new season of theatre for 2020!

Rehearsals are underway for our first showDance Nationby Clare Barron,Ի it is already looking fierce. A co-production with Belvoir Theatre in Sydney,Dance Nationwill be brought to life at the Scott Theatre as part of this year’s Adelaide Festival.

Somewhere in America, an army of teenage competitive dancers is plotting world domination. One routine at a time.

As the national title looms and the dancers fight it out for the lead role, reality and fantasy blur in this award-winning pageant of ferocious girl power.

Part-Dance Moms, part-Hunger Games,Dance Nationis a crushingly funny satire of ambition. The New York Times says it “conjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with such being-there sharpness and poignancy that you’re not sure whether to cringe, cry or roar with happiness. Blazingly original and unsettlingly familiar.”

Starring Tara Morice (Strictly Ballroom),Dance Nationwill blow your sequins off.

Dance Nationwill offer two performances with Audio Description for audience members who are vision impaired. These performances will be on:
