MASS MOVEMENT | Adelaide Festival

Adelaide Festival’s opening weekend sees a one-moment-in-time dusk ‘happening’, as a mass of 1,000 dancers converge onto the natural amphitheatre of Elder Park for MASS MOVEMENT. This thrillingly conceived work from one of Australia’s foremost choreographers, Stephanie Lake, is on a scale never before seen at Adelaide Festival, with dancers from every age group and genre coming together in a celebration of synchronised mass-movement. Stephanie Lake has a track record of creating large-scale contemporary dance works including Circle Electric (2024) and Colossus (2018) both for 50 dancers and 2020’s Multiply for 400 participants. MASS MOVEMENT ratchets up the ante to dizzying new heights with 1,000 professional and volunteer artists performing her exhilarating choreography. Internationally recognised composer and audiovisual artist Robin Fox provides the original score for this monumental event that pays homage to the power of the collective and the unbridled joy of dance.
