Triumphs and Other Alternatives in Sydney

Muscle Mouth has been invited to take our new show Triumphs and Other Alternatives to Performance Space's Liveworks Festival of Experimental Art at Carriageworks, Sydney.

Right now is an incredibly exciting time for us. Muscle Mouth is beginning to take flight. We invite you to join us as we embark on this new and exciting journey!

Ross McCormack, known for his acclaimed dance career with Belgium's Les Ballets C de la B, directs and stars in Triumphs, performing alongside Emily Adams and James Vu Anh Pham. After standing ovations in Wellington and incredible reviews, Triumphs is about to hit the road.

This will be our first presentation overseas. We're excited that it's at such a fantastic experimental festival with a show we are so proud of. We're taking the first steps on what we know will be hugely rewarding journey for Muscle Mouth but we need your help to get there! The $4,000 we hope to raise represents 40% of our travel and accommodation costs. With your contribution we'll be heading over to Sydney to showcase our latest new work on the New Zealand stage.

Liveworks Festival has a focus on artists working at the experimental edge of their art forms, which is a perfect environment for Muscle Mouth. Triumphs collides sculpture with gutsy performance to create a visceral new style of visual dance theatre. We're also excited to be offering an exclusive choreographic workshop with Ross McCormack in Sydney and contributing to a 'guided meditation' on the show - a first for us!

Muscle Mouth began two years ago when we were commissioned to create 'AGE' for the 2014 New Zealand Festival. Since then we've created four new works that have taken place in both theatres and galleries (thanks Enjoy Gallery!). Before we go to Sydney, Triumphs will have just one performance at Auckland's Tempo Dance Festival.

Thank you, we look forward to sending you updates from Sydney!
