I want to thank the wonderful musicians of the Australian String Quartet, Dale Barltrop, Francesca Hiew, Stephen King and Michael Dahlenburg, and guest musician Christopher Cartlidge. Their talent is breathtaking and their passion for this project inspiring. It has been a pleasure to work again with Damien Cooper whose lighting brings so much depth to this work, with designers David Fleischer and Aleisa Jelbart, whose deigns in set and costume have captured our world of Impermanence. My sincere thanks go to all those who have worked on Impermanence, especially the dancers, whose tenacity, passion and resilience, through months of Zoom rehearsals and dancing in lounge rooms across Sydney, have brought us to the stage today. Now more than ever, I realise that we must make the most of every moment, that every moment counts; we must hold tight what we hold dear. I hope that you enjoy every moment of Impermanence.
