Description
Urst was one of four short works that premiered as part of Random Play at NIDA’s Parade Theatre on 20 November 2003.
Random Play saw four choreographers from Sydney Dance Company collaborate with four set designers and four costume designers from NIDA to create an evening of exciting new works. Exploring universal themes from very individual perspectives, this diverse program delights in the distinctive movement language and innovative visual design of each work. Inspired by an eclectic mix of original and existing music, Random Play features Sydney Dance Company’s acclaimed troupe of seventeen dancers in an evening of dynamic physicality.

What The Critics Say
A program of new work by dancers trying their hand at choreography and student designers testing their skills on set and costume design have brought together the Sydney Dance Company and National Institued of Dramatic Art…Josef Brown [Shifted] has handled the large numbers impressively and the smaller groups interestingly…exciting to watch…Simon Turner [Urst] demonstrates his knowledge of what dances can be tempted to try and how to make them look good. Chylie Cooper in a stunning costume by Gypsy Taylor, has a tough exhilarating solo…Gavin Mitford’s Emotor was more concerned with mobilising dancers – which he does well…Wakako Asano’s Know End is endowed with her thoughtful intelligence.
JILL SYKES, THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 2003
...an eclectic program that engages, surprises, entertains…The dancing was exhilarating.
