Ann Dewey's contemporary dance company Spinning Sun returns to the stage with the highly interactive work for a national tour including the dance festival The Body Festival Christchurch 2008 October 2,3,4.

Flicker is a humorous series of images, thoughts and half remembered stories from the childhood memories of Choreographer Ann Dewey.
Re-enacted in a graceful and playful physical language. A lyrical and energising dance work that leaves you feeling invigorated after watching.

'Dewey is a pure artist; her work describes the rich complex mix of stories of a lived-in life' Felicity Molloy, Theatreview.

Four dancers elegantly create a sense of magic from light to dark, silence to sound. With just a flick of the wrist, the sway of the hips, an embracing roll, and your mind is provoked into a kineaesthic memory of a carefree world. Leaving a trail of constellations, childhood pranks and innocent teasing from a youthful remembrance.

As the layers of choreography, illumination and stunning music from John Gibson and David Kilgour hypnotise you, the dancers reveal the hidden truths glimpsed within their bodies. A 4-strong ensemble of dancers who are all soloists in their own right, Ann Dewey fuses accomplished technique with a innocent and quirky zest for life.

'You can't help but feel good after watching her performances' Francesca Horsley, DANZ Quarterly.

Ann Dewey and the dancers have developed the work for the last year. All the four dancers have worked with Ann previously and returned with enthusiasm after the success of works such as 'Queen Camel'. Flicker features dancers Zoe Watkins (Spinning Sun), Julie van Renen (Pointy Dog), Sophie Ryan (Black Grace), Liz Kirk (Auckland dance Co.) John Gibson, David Kilgour and Ann Dewey.

''There is always two sides to a story, we never see the same thing twice, Flicker explores that theory and more through in a physical language.' Ann Dewey
