In its ADAPT digital season, Australian Dance Theatre will dip into its previously-unseen performance archives to stream key works from artistic director Garry Stewart’s 20 year tenure.

In 2000 Garry Stewart premiered Birdbrain– an ironic, post modern deconstruction of Swan Lake. In 2008 Garry Stewart continued his project of referencing iconic ballet with the debut of G, a reworking of Giselle. Dramaturgically, refers to an essay titled Giselle, Madness and Death by Steven Wainwright of Kings College London which links the narrative of Giselle to the pathologisation of women as hysterics in early 19th century France.
