Sydney Symphony Orchestra And Sydney Dance Company Present ‘Cuatro’ Online
Cuatro, the collaboration between Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Dance Company continues with the second of four unique online performances, released weekly, featuring four each of Australia’s celebrated musicians and leading dancers. Each work, produced and directed by Pedro Greig, has been choreographed by Rafael Bonachela, Sydney Dance Company’s internationally acclaimed Artistic Director.
Each episode is individually conceived and responds to the impact of isolation and distancing.
Dancers and musicians began the collaborative process online, working with Bonachela and creative director and filmmaker Pedro Greig to conceive and realise works that were unique and which responded to this extraordinary period in time. The creative process took place over a number of weeks, finally being recorded in isolation at the Sydney Dance Company Studios in Ultimo, Sydney.
