FORM Dance Projects and Riverside Theatres are set to captivate audiences with "That's Two, Thank You," a brand-new, two-week dance festival dedicated to the art of the duet. From Friday, 28th March to Saturday, 5th April 2025, the Lennox Theatre at Riverside Theatres in Parramatta will become a hub of dynamic movement and storytelling.
This inaugural festival, presented by FORM Dance Projects, promises to showcase the versatility of the duet form, exploring the spectrum of human interaction through dance. "That's Two, Thank You" will demonstrate how two bodies can convey a multitude of narratives, ranging from powerful, almost gladiatorial displays of strength to delicate, intimate exchanges.
The festival's program features a compelling five-show line-up, bringing together some of Australia and New Zealand's leading contemporary dance artists. Expect a diverse range of styles and approaches, with performances that delve into the complexities of human relationships and experiences.
Adding to the excitement, "That's Two, Thank You" will culminate in "DUELS," a duet dance competition. This event aims to support artists who are planning to submit their work to the prestigious Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition in the Netherlands, providing a valuable platform for emerging choreographers and dancers.

- A diverse five-show program featuring acclaimed Australian and New Zealand contemporary dance artists.
