Overview

Resonance is a powerful new dance work from award-winning choreographer James Batchelor and Collaborators, uniting three generations of Australian dancers in a moving celebration of memory, connection, and reinvention.

At its heart is a conversation between past and present, as Batchelor's meditative choreographic style engages in a curious dialogue with the legacy of Tanja Liedtke – a rising star in the Australian dance scene whose life was tragically cut short in 2007, on the eve of her ground-breaking appointment as Artistic Director of Sydney Dance Company.

Featuring dancers who worked closely with Liedtke and an intergenerational cast, alongside guest dancers from QL2 Dance's Quantum Leap Ensemble, Resonance honours the dancer's body as a living archive. It becomes an intimate act of choreographic transmission – one that celebrates dance as a language of friendship, transformation, and enduring connection.
