Synopsis
From the Judith Wright Centre shop front in 2009 to the Visy Theatre, Brisbane Powerhouse in January 2010, the Visy Theatre was transformed into a nightclub.
Hey Scenester is a contemporary dance, pop culture-inspired work by choreographer Claire Marshall in conjunction with dancers, looking at ‘scenesters’ and Fortitude Valley’s nightlife. Drawing inspiration from observations in the Valley, the work looks at club culture and human behaviour in the increasingly busy and often absurd scene in Fortitude Valley on a Friday or Saturday night.
Claire Marshall was a recipient of the Ausdance Queensland Brisbane Front Program Choreographic Residency, which saw the first development presented in November 2009. Hey Scenester saw the Visy Theatre transformed into a non-traditional theatre space for the second instalment of the work.
