Alight


Choreographer/Performers Pat O’Luanaigh & Tai Platania

Patrick O’Luanaigh and Tai Platania are Melbourne/Naarm-based contemporary dance artists who grew up in Banyule. Having danced together for the past three years at the Victorian College of the Arts, Patrick and Tai are excited to begin their first collaboration.

Contemporary dance artists Patrick O’Luanaigh and Tai Platania will be in residence to develop and create Alight, a new abstract dance for our Mental Health Week program.

Alight is a performance that functions as a meditation for the audience, designed with binaural beats and hypnotic movement to create an oasis of calm and mindfulness. The work provides a brief reprieve from the overstimulation of our current world; a chance to step off and land in a more quiet place.
