About this performance
construct, the final project by the late Australian choreographer Tanja Liedtke is a tongue-in-cheek look at the act of making performance and the connection to building a home, a relationship and a life. In a charged theatrical setting, 3 highly-skilled dancers depict a strange love triangle with simple props, sound by DJ TR!P and breakneck movement. After performing with DV8 in the UK and Australian Dance Theatre, the 29-year-old Liedtke was appointed the coveted position of artistic director of the Sydney Dance Company in 2007 before her death later that year.
