New work to feature NICA's second year artists

A new circus show, One False Move ... is set to feature the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA)'s second year artists in an original and fast-paced entertainment show that draws inspiration from the events and characters that inhabit the fictional world of the Film Noir genre.

Stylish, bold and contemporary, One False Move is a quirky circus montage of dynamic aerial escapes, comic acrobatic chases, dangerous balancing feats and surreal characters. Vibrant and entertaining, the ensemble show cuts across different eras, events and styles to create unexpected moments of suspenseful, playful circus.

Opening on 19th June, the show is co-directed by NICA's Head of Performance, Megan Jones, and NICA's dance teacher, Meredith Kitchen.

Jones has a formidable 30 year career as an actor, director and performing arts educator while Kitchen started teaching at NICA after a dance career with the Australian Dance Theatre, Dance North and Compagnie Philippe Genty. Together they also directed NICA's hugely successful performances, Made to Fit (2012) and CODA (2011).

The ensemble performance is an integral part of the 22 students' artistic and physical training as it prepares them for wide and varied careers after they graduate from the Bachelor of Circus Arts.

One False Move ... is being presented at the NICA National Circus Centre in Melbourne suburb of Prahan.
