An original and visceral style of dance theatre, Triumphs and Other Alternatives, is heading to Tauranga next week.
Combining dance, visual art, clowning, design, and theatre craft, Ross McCormack directs and performs this piece of contemporary performance, exploring the obsessiveness and traps of the creative process.
He says many creative
people will relate to the work, "where you are looking at your work and liking it, then later coming back to it and saying 'this is crap, I hate it', then after a while, coming back to it and loving it again."
The show follows a vulnerable, delightful, obsessive and narcissistic character, played by McCormack, relentless in his need to create and his desire to leave his mark on the world.
"There is an obsessiveness of the main character that artists, sculptors, writers and even some sportspeople can relate to - where they are frustrated with their skills, yet live the triumphs of their skills."
