High Octane

Campbelltown Arts Centre is thrilled to present High Octane, a daring new dance theatre performance from visionary artist Emma Harrison, from Thursday 27th to Saturday 29th March 2025. Exploring success, capitalism, class, and material wealth, High Octane takes a visceral look at how these forces shape our identities and bodies. Hailing from Regional Queensland and New South Wales, Harrison alongside an epic line-up of performers and creatives, delves into the hypermasculine world of racing channelling her personal experiences into a provocative interrogation of ambition and its price. With an explosive blend of movement, rev heads, burnouts, rhinestones, music, and early 2000s-inspired visuals, High Octane takes the stage by force. A raw and electrifying reflection on the forces that drive us, High Octane challenges audiences to reconsider their relationship with success, power, and the relentless pursuit of more. In a world fuelled by competition, get ready for a high-speed ride through ambition, self-identity, and the price of making it to the top.
