Sway Poles is a Melbourne-based arts company whose work fuses theatre, dance and circus at an elevated medium. Artists sway from 16-foot-tall poles creating a large scale visual art installation. Originally based on the image of a field of wheat swaying in the breeze, the poles extreme strength and flexibility allow the performers to bow to impossible angles, swaying back and forth in a hypnotizing dance. With a world-renowned repertoire that celebrates a wide variety of themes and stories, the company has achieved near-cult status in almost every continent across the globe. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Australia’s Sway Poles perform “Swoon” during their ASC residency.
