WORLD PREMIERE

BREATHING IRREGULAR

DIRECTION CARRIE CRACKNELL

28 January - 27 February 2010

A five-year-old boy finds his mother slumped by the back door.
A woman gives birth to a child at home alone.
A family desperately work to resuscitate their father.

BREATHING IRREGULAR mixes dance and spoken word in a haunting celebration of our instinct to survive.

A GROWING TREND THAT BRINGS
THEATRE AND DANCE EVER CLOSER TOGETHER."
