Body of Work – Documentary segment

Film components were designed for Body Of Work which were projected on stage, one for the Sydney Opera House’s Gala performance and the other for the show that toured nationally in Australia in 2000. Part of these films was a documentary segment showcasing the Sydney Dance Company’s early days, which features the behind the scenes of Old Friends New Friends and the touring in Europe (Paris, Italy, Sicily) in the 80′s and early 90′s. This segment finishes with a warm goodbye to the dear friends lost since (as of 2000).
