Ballet –The dark side

Ballet –The dark side

Will and Anna Smythe were the perfect couple….. newly-weds with fantastic plans and that little bit too happy about everything, they moved into their new house in 1989, and were never seen again….

The Ariel Middlemiss Dance Collective is super excited to present their new show “Dead Silent” at the Dome Theatre at BATS as part of the NZ Fringe Festival. You, the audience, are all invited into their quaint wee house, to try and figure out what went so wrong. Are you the next Sherlock??? If so, this puzzle may be easy to solve, but be quick else you just might be lost in the house forever….

Ariel Middlemiss is a local Wellington dancer and choreographer-this being her second Fringe show, last year debuting her project based company through “Frame of Mind”, a show that delved into human emotions and how they are manifested in dance. This year- with a main cast of only two(herself and one other), she plans to revolutionize ballet as we know it, by creating an environment where the audience member must work out for themselves the outcome of the show…

“It’s been utterly amazing, getting to create another show, and I’m really lucky to have Jacob(Reynolds, the other lead character) there to learn all my crazy ideas and help them come to life.”

Ariel directed, choreographed, and performed in her last show, and this year is no different. Jacob, was also in the last show- a testament to how well the two work together, that they’re back again for a second year…..

“Dead Silent” runs four nights, 27th Feb-2nd Mar, at BATS Theatre
