"Hot to Trot"
Canberra young choreographers' performance Quantum Leap in 'Hot to Trot 2008' An evening of dance of surprising depth and quality, performed with commitment and passion. Members of Canberra's own youth choreographic ensemble, Quantum Leap, are busy preparing for 'Hot to Trot' - a project where they create short works to be performed by other Quantum Leap dancers. For some, this is their first choreographic effort; while some have choreographed works for several years before they set off for tertiary dance studies. The project aims to develop choreographic awareness in young dancers as soon as possible — moving beyond just ‘doing the steps’, to making meaningful dance. This year, Hot To Trot will include new short works by:  Sam Maxted Simon Read & Jake Kuzma Amy Peacock Tamar Peacock Ashley Hamilton Emma & James Batchelor Paul Jackson Moriya Rosenberg & Lauren Grow The short works will be shown in a one-hour performance repeated four times over the weekend Saturday and Sunday 8-9 December. Hot to Trot is a favourite with Canberra audiences and in recent years has played to sell out crowds. Bring your family and make a night of it! Quantum Leap in Hot to Trot 2008 6pm & 8pm Saturday & Sunday 29 & 30 November QL2 Theatre, Gorman House Arts Centre, Ainslie Ave, Braddon. Tickets: Full $10, Concession $5. Tickets are available from the box office 30 minutes before the performance.
