Rainbow Vomit, a contemporary dance show created especially for young audiences by award-winning company Dancenorth, takes over Darebin Arts Centre these July school holidays with kaleidoscopes, frivolity and 3D glasses for everyone!
The audience is invited to step into a space of tangled imagination, where light and sound collide and 3D images emerge from the darkness. Surrender to the stimulation of your senses as rhythm becomes vision, voice shapes movement and light warps sound.
Behind a pair of kaleidoscopic firework glasses, onlookers watch this magical, immersive dance production unfold. Made of holographic diffraction film that refracts light into all colours of the spectrum, the magic glasses generate a myriad of rainbows.
Choreographers Kyle Page (Artistic Director, Dancenorth) and Amber Haines (Associate Artistic Director, Dancenorth) explain the inspiration behind this piece:
"Rainbow Vomit stemmed from a curiosity surrounding the impact of technology and the accompanying sensorial saturation for young viewers, in particular, the impact on their developing brains," said Page.
"There is a large body of research surrounding the impact of technology (screen time) on children and their developing brains "“ in particular the stifling effect that tech can have on their imagination and creative capacity. Tech Addiction' has been referred to as digital heroin' for kids "“ turning children into screen junkies. Children are unknowingly falling victim to an addiction that doctors say is as bad as cocaine for their minds."
"In Rainbow Vomit we have created a space that is intensely colourful, extraordinarily physical and saturated with ideas that we hope will inspire kids to go home and play and be creative in their own space," said Haines.
Following the performance, audiences are welcomed further into the technicolour world of Rainbow Vomit to explore the set, meet the dancers and, finally, play on the stage.
The distinguished cast of dancers includes Samantha Hines, Jenni Large, Georgia Rudd, Mason Kelly, Felix Sampson and Jack Ziesing, who collectively have worked with leading Australian choreographers Lucy Guerin, Gideon Obarzanek, Stephanie Lake, Lee Serle and Alisdair Macindoe and have performed extensively around Australia and internationally.
