Last performed at the 2008 UWA Perth International Arts Festival, with rave reviews describing it as “a beautifully crafted work blended light and dance seamlessly, blurring the line between reality and illusion,” Jambird (Chrissie Parrott and Jonathan Mustard) is thrilled to announce they will travel to Korea on Monday to present their award winning production Metadance at two Korean festivals.

Chrissie Parrott’s work was last seen in Korea in 1995, when the Chrissie Parrott Dance Company toured to Seoul. However, this is the first time Metadance will tour internationally.

Parrott’s original cast of four extraordinarily accomplished WA artists; Joshua Mu, Jacqui Claus, Sally Blatchford and Sharlene Campbell, will perform Metadance at the 15th ChangMu International Arts Festival and Daejeon Summer Nights Dance Festival.

Metadance won three WA Dance Awards in 2008 following its Perth season; Best Design and/or Composition in Dance; Outstanding Achievement in Choreography; Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer (Joshua Mu), and it was nominated for a 2009 Australian Dance Award.

Performing Lines WA Producer Fiona de Garis said, “We are thrilled Jambird have been invited to present Metadance at the 15th ChangMu International Arts Festival in Uijeongbu, Korea. Metadance creates a new dialogue between dance and technology and it is extremely appropriate that the work will be seen in Korea – a country which is a global leader in new technologies. We hope this will open the door for future international collaborations for Jambird.”
