TROLLEYSPart dance. Part ballet. Part spectacle. Trolleys is a new ballet for supermarket trolleys.
Five shopping trolleys randomly appear.
Two meet and fall in love. One grapples to find a friend. Three others revolt and ignite a dance of anarchy.
Trolleys spin, glide and slide in this highly physical, humorous outdoor performance where high-octane contemporary dance, acrobatics and street dance merge with the extraordinary world of trolleys. Score composed by Nick Wales.
Trolleys was produced by C-12 Dance Theatre and Shaun Parker & Company.

HOVER
Roving and dancing on the hoverboards, five exceptional dance and physical theatre artists – Olivia Hadley, Sam Beazley, Libby Montilla, Joel Fenton, and Romain Hassanin – will perform paying homage to boy bands throughout history, with edgy and entertaining dance routines!
The fun and high-energy choreography is inspired by the circus and street dance forms such as breakdance, tutting, popping and krumping, and integrated with visually compelling hoverboards. These shows are set to a variety of music genres, including pop hits, classical music and stunning original scores by composer Nick Wales. This remarkable ensemble of professional dancers also improvise dance moves responding to the surroundings and specific spectators.

SHAUN PARKER & COMPANY
an exhilarating and bold Australian dance company that has exploded onto the international dance scene led by award winning Artistic Director and Choreographer Shaun Parker.
Shaun Parker & Company has enjoyed much international success. The company's first major production, "Happy As Larry" (2010) toured to over eleven venues in the UK including London’s prestigious Sadlers Wells and played to sold out audiences at the Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and New Zealand Int'l Arts Festival.
"The Yard" (2011), a collaboration between Parker and teenage performers from Western Sydney, is about survival and the cultural divide in the school yard, inspired by William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. In 2012, Shaun Parker created two new works for the London Cultural Olympiad, "Trolleys" and "Spill".
In 2013 the company is embarking on a 15-city Australian tour of"Happy as Larry", will tour "Trolleys" in the UK and is developing a new work called "Am I", which will debut in 2014.
In 2010 "Happy as Larry" won 12 children’s Jury awards in Perth, the Honourable Banksy Award in New Zealand and was nominated for an Australian Dance Award. In 2012 Parker received the 2012 Australian Dance Award for Most Outstanding Production in Youth or Community Dance for his direction and choreography of "The Yard" and the Argus Angel Award for Best Work at the Brighton Festival for "Trolleys".
Parker's other works include "This Show Is About People", "Blue Love", "Love Installment" and short films "NO" and "The Love Trilogy".
