THE FOLD


A NEW CONTEMPORARY DANCE WORK - REVIEW IS OUT!

25 July + 26 July 2025

From the visionary creators of award-winning productions, “Unveiled, “Unravel”, “Unhinged” and “Wired” – Suzy Piani and Bonnie Neate, The Training Ground.

THE FOLD plunged audiences into a hypnotic realm where industrial grind meets ethereal grace. This boundary-pushing dance experience shattered conventions and defied expectations—bold, visceral, and unlike anything witnessed before.

From the acclaimed creators who redefined movement with their highly successful productions, came their most audacious vision yet, unraveling the moment where existence creases – where life folds into death, where memory intersects with prophecy, and where the threads of dual realities become hopelessly entangled.

Exceptional Talent. Extraordinary Vision.

With a cast of elite dancers from the ACT and surrounding areas, this production showcased the remarkable talent emerging from a rigorous 6-month contemporary dance training program. Bridging the gap between studio-based training and professional dance courses, THE FOLD represented the pinnacle of artistic development—providing dancers with a company-like experience while empowering them to dream beyond boundaries.

These rising stars brought raw intensity and technical brilliance to a story that demanded  both emotional depth and physical virtuosity. Working alongside industry professionals in its creation, this ensemble transformed the factory floor into a mesmerising landscape where movement became memory, and gesture speaks what words cannot.
