Rabbit October 23, 2007

RABBIT, inspired by the well loved nonsense of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, comes to Riverside Theatres from Wednesday 24 October. RABBIT is a dance/theatre production that takes children through the looking glass to convey the journey of an ‘Alice-wannabe’ who turns up in a forest to audition for Wonderland. Using everyday objects produced from an apparently haphazard collection of suitcases, the characters from this famous story come alive through a maze of contradiction, curiosity and plain nuttiness!

Harnessing fragments of Alice's story as catalysts for imagination, creativity and nostalgia, Alice's ride through this DIY Wonderland encompasses storytelling, dance, physical theatre, an original score and Victorian-inspired costumes to create a place where fairy tale meets reality TV. With an enchanting score, Buzz Dance Theatre creates a comic and dynamically varied performance that holds the attention of children and adults alike.

Buzz Dance Theatre is a major government supported youth performing arts organisation providing programs to young Western Australians. The Company is nationally recognised for the excellence of its artistic programs and for its commitment to the provision of engaging dance theatre experiences for young people. The annual program caters for approximately 20,000 people, mainly children and young people. In 2004 Buzz was nominated as a finalist in the 2004 Australian Institute of Management Small Business of the Year Award in recognition of outstanding achievement in vocational education and training
