If we’ve never had it so good, why do we feel so bad?

Nationally acclaimed performer/choreographer Brian Lucas holds a mirror up to our age of anxiety, revealing reflections which dazzle and provoke in his newest solo dance work Performance Anxiety, where dance, movement, physical imagery, voice and sound combine to create an intriguing and confronting performance. 
 
Lucas draws on personal experience of the particular anxieties which arise when we find ourselves in front of a live audience , and explores the universal parallels that exist between the experiences of the professional performer and the struggle to “perform well” in our day-to-day lives, be it in the bedroom, the boardroom or the supermarket checkout queue.
 
Performed in an intimate cabaret setting, sit back with a glass of wine and share in the tales of the terminally stressed, the people under pressure, the heroes on their small crusades.
 
With a sound design performed live by Brett Collery, Design by Kieran Swann and Lighting Design by Andrew Meadows.
 
“One of Australia's most commanding actor-dancers" The Australian

“Brian Lucas (a superb mid-career artist) courageously alerts us to the wounding truth.” Real Time
