CUDDLE

​

Partners in crime raise the stakes and go all out on a dance heist, bigger than ever before. The window is short and the road is dangerous — will they make it out alive?

​

In CUDDLE, two of Melbourne’s contemporary dance artists on the rise, Harrison Ritchie-Jones and Michaela Tancheff, engage in a difficult and dynamic duel filled with surreal sonic and visual surprises. 

Weaving contemporary dance with elements from martial arts, figure skating, rodeo barnyard dance and a host of more abstract inspirations, CUDDLE ebbs and flows from the joyful and absurd to the inventive and technically brilliant.

​

With the audience gathered around the space as though at a wrestling match, CUDDLE is a unique and

unpredictable press into a strange and wondrous intimacy.

 

CUDDLE has resonated with a variety of audiences in Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney, performing in festivals, bespoke settings, clubs and theatres.

​

 "CUDDLE is a uniquely original piece of contemporary dance that dazzles, entertains, and inspires in equal measure... a truly unique and unforgettable experience that showcases the best of Melbourne’s contemporary dance scene." Dance Life Australia Feb 2024 -Brendan Daynes.
