The Beginning of Nature

From internationally acclaimed contemporary dance company, Australian Dance Theatre brings the World Premiere of The Beginning of Nature. Renowned Artistic Director Garry Stewart has taken inspiration from the rhythms that constitute the very fabric of nature and life itself.

To accompany The Beginning of Nature ADT and creative studio Sandpit have created a virtual reality experience using Google Cardboard. Sandpit has created a smartphone app, coupled with a custom designed viewer which uses your own smart phone as a screen, allowing the user to view a 1-2 minute long 360 video of the dancers of ADT performing choreography from The Beginning of Nature, filmed in natural locations around Adelaide, Australia.

The original score by composer Brendan Woithe features the Kaurna language, the local language of the first peoples of the Adelaide plains. ADT acknowledges that this is the cultural property of the Kaurna people, and thanks its custodians for collaborating with the company in developing the score.
