ENCOUNTER SYDNEY

Spread out on the forecourt of Sydney Opera House, directed by Emma Saunders, ENCOUNTER SYDNEY explores the everyday extraordinariness and energy behind our next generation. In collaboration with a group of award-winning Australian artists, including writer Felicity Castagna, composers Amanda Brown (The Go-Betweens) and Jodi Phillis (The Clouds), a cast of ten dancers and words spoken by Warren Foster, ENCOUNTER SYDNEY explores the indomitable spirit of youth and the world they find themselves in. The riveting soundtrack to ENCOUNTER SYDNEY, is the original ENCOUNTER score performed and recorded by the musicians of the Western Sydney Youth Orchestra, conducted by James Pensini.
