Join us on Saturday 23 March as creator and lead choreographer/composer of Flood Dance and Music, Maxwell ‘ThvFlood’ Douglas presents a new solo dance performance at Cement Fondu in his signature distorted dance style set to Flood beats.

A harsh decade of unsettling factors in Brisbane’s far west has set in motion the blooming of a new style of movement; Flooding. A local dance style originating from Ipswich, QLD Australia as a response to the 2011 Floods and Australian suburban lifestyle.

Flooding embodies distorted and grotesque characteristics that have grown from these experiences. A beautiful response to the trigger of challenging times.

Embark on a journey from the grotesque reality of Ipswich’s floodplains to the elegant possibility of movement in the context of John Prince Siddon’s brand new major solo exhibition, Disco Dreamtime Drums, in which newly commissioned works were created during the climate catastrophe of the Fitzroy Crossing floods.
