Performances
WIRED
Performances 2-3 August 2024
Erindale Theatre
WIRED is an original full-length contemporary dance work based on a true story. An individual who consciously decided to live in the walls and ceiling of a family home to facilitate a ghost-like and unnerving experience for the home’s occupants.
The original story has been deconstructed to reveal a modern account on the original narrative, exploring themes of deception, mistrust, and paranoia.
Choreographed and directed by Bonnie Neate and Suzy Piani, WIRED is their fourth full-length contemporary dance work. This production follows their critically-acclaimed and award-winning productions Unveiled (2021), Unravel (2022) and Unhinged (2023).
WIRED is the culmination of a rigorous 6 month contemporary dance training program for advanced dancers from the ACT and surrounding areas. With a stellar cast of 18 exceptional dancers, WIRED will excite, delight and entertain you from start to finish.
Performances of our original full-length contemporary dance work ‘WIRED’ were held 7:00pm 2-3 August 2024 at Erindale Theatre, Wanniassa ACT!

This project will culminate in several professional performances: in Wodonga VIC in October 2024 and at the prestigious The Edge Theatre, Federation Square, Melbourne in December 2024.
About Tim Podesta: Choreographer, Scientist, Innovator
Tim Podesta’s multifaceted career bridges art and science in dance. A former soloist with the Australian Ballet School, he transitioned from performer to choreographer following a knee injury, which sparked his interest in human movement and physiology.
Podesta’s choreographic works have graced international stages, collaborating with prestigious companies like The Queensland Ballet and The Hong Kong Ballet. Through Tim Podesta Creative, he’s expanded into film and architectural installations, showcasing his versatility.
His inclusive initiatives, such as the Dis/assemble Dance Project and Dance For Humanity, have made significant impacts in professional development and humanitarian efforts within the dance community.
As an exercise scientist, Podesta researches dance-specific periodisation to optimise performance and reduce injuries. His expertise benefits dancers of all levels, including Olympic athletes.
Globally recognized as an educator, competition judge, and motivational speaker, Podesta continues to shape the arts and promote holistic well-being.
