Melancholia

Melancholia is the premiere work of Melbourne's own contemporary tap dance company, Studio Stocks. Founded by acclaimed tap dance artist Garry Stocks, Studio Stocks pushes the boundaries of percussive dance, weaving elements of contemporary movement with a fresh, genre-defying approach to tap.

In Melancholia, audiences will explore the depths of loss, pain and grief, while discovering moments of hope and healing through the power of rhythm. Performed by an extraordinary cast of some of Australia’s most accomplished tap dance artists and rising talents, this evocative work promises to captivate, challenge and resonate with audiences on a profound level. Experience a performance that marks a new era in tap artistry and enjoy the emotional range that tap dance can embody from exuberant joy to deeply poignant reflection.
