    MEDIA RELEASE March 26, 2015 AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY’S FRAME OF MIND WILLIAM FORSYTHE | RAFAEL BONACHELA NINE MELBOURNE SHOWS ONLY MAY 6 TO 16, BOOK NOW! ★★★★ ½ - It’s sublime. – Sunday Telegraph Astonishing… powerful, personal and poetic… quite simply, breathtaking. – Limelight Magazine ★★★★ - It’s a delight…a potent blend of technique, daring and playfulness. - SMH Could be seen again and again without exhausting its possibilities. - The Australian ★★★★ - Passionate… precise… breath-stealing. – The Guardian Sydney Dance Company The Wharf, Pier 4, 15 Hickson Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia MEDIA RELEASE March 26, 2015 As part of its Australian premiere season, Sydney Dance Company is set to presen t a limited run of its acclaimed double bill, Frame of Mind, at Southbank Theatre, Melbourne . This is an exceptional opportunity to experience two mesmerising danceworks - legendary American choreographer William Forsythe’s acclaimed masterpiece Quintett, and Rafael Bonachela’s newly created Frame of Mind, direct from its world premiere Sydney performances. Created in 1993, William Forsythe’s Quintett is one of the most renowned contemporary dance works of the 20th Century. This highly poetic and powerful work, developed in collaboration with Ballet Frankfurt dancers Dana Caspersen, Stephen Galloway, Jacopo Godani, Thomas McManus and Jone San Martin, was a final love letter to Forsythe’s wife, dancer Tracy-Kai Maier, who succumbed to cancer in 1994, aged 32. Quintett is set to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by renowned post-minimalist British composer, Gavin Bryars; his iconic 1975 composition, Jesus's Blood Never Failed Me Yet. Inspired by a grainy, chance recording of a homeless man singing, the looped vocals begin as a barely audible, distant melody, and acquire a slowly evolving, growing orchestral accompaniment, which with its insistent optimism, tinged with tragedy, creeps under the skin and magnifies the intense poignancy of the choreography.
