Shifted was one of four short works that premiered as part of Random Play at NIDA’s Parade Theatre on 20 November 2003. Shifted featured music by Elena Kats-Chernin, Dorobo, Clocked Out Duo, Ross Edwards, David Hudson and Dzihan & Kamien.

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.
