In its ADAPT digital season, Australian Dance Theatre will dip into its previously-unseen performance archives to stream key works from artistic director Garry Stewart’s 20 year tenure.

Birdbrain was Garry Stewart’s first full length work for Australian Dance Theatre and a formative insight into a new vocabulary of dance that he has brought to the company. Drawing on elements of classical ballet, contemporary dance, breakdance, yoga and gymnastics, as well as video art and electronic music, Stewart created a piece that cross examined the grande dame of classical ballet, Swan Lake, inverting the narrative completely.
