Kick Up Your Heels Image: Bruce Postle. THROUGHOUT 2013 A series of monthly dances throughout 2013 celebrates 100 years of social dancing in the Canberra region. Check the website for details. www.socandance.org.au Rock Around the Clock – 1950s 15 June Bring your dancing feet back to the fabulous 50s and join us in Canberra to rock the house down. Come and dance along to the sounds of the legends of Rock and Roll – Bill Haley, Johnny O'Keefe, Col Joye, Elvis, Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and many others. Recall when Brian Henderson’s Bandstand was the must-see to find out who was a ‘rocket' and to learn the latest moves. And let’s not forget those local Canberra bands of the period – Alpines, Corvettes, Planets. The cars were FJs and Customlines, the hair was Spray Netted or Brylcreemed, the ties were narrow, the socks were luminous, the jeans were pegged and the skirts were flared. Saturday night was all right at Albert Hall where you could jive in ’55 – in the first wave of Oz Rock. Albert Hall was less than 30 years old, and wasn’t on the shore of Lake Burley Griffin, because the river was yet to be dammed. Rock Around The Clock is organised and presented by Southside Rock ‘n’ Roll Inc and facilitated by Ausdance and SoCanDance. Albert Hall WWW.southsiderocknroll.com Swing into the Sixties – 1960s 27 July Little Patti, the Atlantics, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones gave us a second wave of rock and surf music that has never stopped. There was a lot of local band talent too–Casuals, Playboys, Second Movement, Sounds Unlimited, Witness. Come along to dance and sing to the music of the sixties. Swing Into the Sixties is organised and presented by Aussie United and facilitated by Ausdance and SoCanDance. ANU union bar www.aussiesunited.com.au Australian Dance Awards 5 August The Australian Dance Awards ceremony has been gifted to the people of Canberra for 2013 as an acknowledgement of the national capital and the talented dancers who have come from the region. They have gone on to dance with some of the finest dance companies in the world, such as The Australian Ballet. This will be the first time the Awards have been presented in Canberra. The Australian Dance Awards are Australia’s night of nights for dance, with 11 categories to be awarded. The Awards celebrate achievements in Australian dance with a presentation event that showcases outstanding performances by some of Australia's leading dance artists and companies, including those from the ACT. A public program of performances accompanies the Awards. With nominations from the public, the Australian Dance Awards grew out of the dance profession itself, and are managed by the Ausdance network.

G 13 – 14 June Garry Stewart, currently one of the world’s best known choreographers, redefined Swan Lake into the wry and actionpacked Birdbrain which went on to become Australia’s most performed contemporary dance work. Now he completely reinvents the ballet Giselle with G. Fusing the technical prowess of classical ballet with explosive choreography, the 11 formidable dancers of Australian Dance Theatre embody the central themes of hysteria, vulnerability, desire, gender, death and the afterlife. The dancers’ powerful athleticism and deconstructed classicism are accompanied by a haunting electronic music score that drives the work forward at a phenomenal pace, with a hovering panorama of LED screens to reconfigure the original ballet, its story and themes. Having already toured extensively to critical acclaim throughout Europe, this work comes to Canberra for Canberra Theatre Centre's Collected Works: Australia 2013. G is produced by the Australian Dance Theatre with concept and direction by Garry Stewart, and choreography by Garry and dancers of the Australian Dance Theatre. Garry is also the choreographer of MONUMENT, the Australian Ballet’s tribute to the 25 th anniversary of Parliament House, which has its world premiere in Canberra May 2013: this work is also part of Collected Works: Australia. G has been co-commissioned by The Joyce Theatre’s Stephen and Cathy Weinroth Fund for New Work (New York), Southbank Centre (London) and Merrigong Theatre Co. at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (Wollongong), and co-produced by Theatre de la Ville (Paris).
