NOISE

Presented by Dancenorth Australia

NOISE is a work of epic proportions, awakening a sense of community and togetherness through our primal connection to rhythm.

Created by Kyle Page and Amber Haines, Dancenorth joins forces with the Horizon drumming band who thump out a scintillating live score in this dynamic community-driven performance.

NOISE is a gathering, a united force of percussive energy and powerful dance. Surrender to the raw energy of drums sending sound waves vibrating through the air, delivering an aural punch matched only by the power and force of Dancenorth’s award-winning Ensemble.

Join us for a free evening under the stars for this monumental celebration of sound, rhythm, and dance.
