‘The Seed’ was first developed by NORPA in 2000. A collaboration between choreographers Bernadette Walong and Michael Hennessy, ‘The Seed’ received a well-deserved standing ovation from a spellbound opening night audience.

A beautiful and profound piece which explores the themes of growth, dormancy, death and inevitable rebirth through movement, this production is enhanced with a new lighting design by Bernie Tan and set design by Rohan Shearn. The Seed Features six of AustraliaÂ’s leading contemporary dancers including Marilyn Miller, Alfred Taahi, Jennifer Newman-Preston, Jade Tyas Tunggal, Jason Northam and Dijon Nuie. The Seed is an enthralling dance-theatre experience not to be missed.

New South Wales Regional Tour includes:

Taree - Manning Entertainment Centre: July 23
Wagga Wagga - Civic Theatre: July 26
Parramatta - Riverside Theatre: July 31 - August 3

The Seed is supported by the NSW Ministry for the Arts through the Dance Fund and the Centres for Excellence Program through the NORPA Creative Laboratory and the Australia Council for the Arts.

The NSW Regional Tour of The Seed is supported by the NSW Ministry for the Arts Touring Program.

NORPA wishes to acknowledge the generous support from Southern Cross University as its Principal Sponsor and Southern Cross TEN and the Northern Rivers Echo as Major Sponsors.
