GRAND

Grand is both a celebration and fusion of dance and piano. Close to Murphy’s heart, Grand is dedicated to the life of his mother Betty. Murphy has been greatly influenced by music for piano and creates a stunning visual representation for a diverse collection of pieces for this beautiful instrument. The grand piano (played by Scott Davie) takes centre stage and is moved by the dancers and incorporated into the choreography effortlessly. It was filmed in its first season at the Sydney Opera House in 2005.

 ”… Murphy clearly has an extraordinary talent – in addition to his gifts as a choreographer – of bringing together artists of various stripe who can meld dance, music, lighting, design and theatre into an unforgettable evening.”
