METTLE. An old word for a new generation.

Within a cavernous concrete bunker, in the depths of winter, we prepare to make a slippery descent.

METTLE is a raw, powerful performance created by choreographers Alice Lee Holland and Jack Ziesing, in collaboration with thirteen young dance artists from Kamberri.

Armoured in costumes by Aleisa Jelbart and surrounded by a visceral soundscape (Sascha Budimski), the tightknit ensemble encounter challenges seemingly insurmountable, within immersive visuals (Creswick Collective).

Through grit and pressure comes evolution.

It’s time to test your mettle.

NB: This performance has been developed at Gorman Arts Centre but is being performed at The Vault.
