Conceived by award-winning choreographer Shaun Parker and digital sound designer Alon Ilsar, IN THE ZONE is a fun and exciting dance theatre production that empowers young audiences to consider themes such as technology, man-made global warming, personal choice and resilience.
With AirSticks technology in the hands of Libby Montilla, the audience enters the world of a video game through the dance forms of locking, popping, waving and body-ticking, inspired by the stunning soundscape which includes crunchy electronica, atmospheric strings, funky drum loops and the sounds of birds, ocean waves and nature – all intrinsically linked to Libby’s outstanding body animation and storytelling in a bravura solo performance.
IN THE ZONE takes gaming and escapism as a point of inspiration to show young audiences (and the young at heart) that they are much more in control of their own emotional responses than they think they are. A perfect show for the entire family!
Keen audience-goers can also enjoy a specialised hip-hop class led by featured dancer Libby Montilla where they will learn some of the key moves from the performance. A workshop will run post-performance at 3.45pm. Spaces are strictly limited.
Montilla brought a contagious energy to the stage, performing with a level of precision that was captivating to watch.

Make no mistake, this dancer’s virtuosity within his own style of dance is as impressive, as graceful and fluid as any of this country’s top ballet or contemporary dancers.
