Stuck In The Middle With You
Another Language artist-in-residence and guest choreographer Hilary Carrier choreographed this trio on Jeannine Chan, Spencer John Powell and Travis Rasmussen. The three month residency was a pilot program that provided the artist with space and dancers to facilitate the creation of new works.

Photographic Memory
Originally choreographed by Elizabeth and Jimmy Miklavcic in 1988, Photographic Memory was inspired by the title of a poem by William Butler Yeats. Set in the Victorian era, the dance depicts a couple's life, showing moments of joy, dependency, connection and conflict. As the couple looks back on the memory of their relationship, represented by the picture frames, they dance the moments of their lives together.

Interlude
Jimmy Miklavcic speaks with the Arts Festival audience.

Three Ballads For Mother
