Step into Shifting Perspective, an all-ages, all-abilities, immersive dance performance. This thought-provoking dance and light installation invites you to roam within a vast maze of mirrors.

Around you, dancers glide past 24 reflective plinths, their movements echoing infinitely. Light dances in unison with sound and you are enveloped in a reality-bending spectacle.

Matthew Adey, renowned for his spatial artistry (Dark Mofo's House of Vnholy) has worked in collaboration with Restless Dance Theatre to present a unique world where each step reveals a new perspective, a different you.

Shifting Perspectives isn't just a performance, it's a participatory adventure suitable for all, where the division between observer and performer blurs, inviting reflection on the interplay between perception and identity.

“Like a visual jigsaw, the viewers mind has to quickly assimilate, piece together and make sense of the many images and fragmented reflections that the eyes are receiving.” – The Advertiser

"Let Restless Dance Theatre unlock new perspectives for you through light and darkness, shape and movement, perception and reality with Shifting Perspectives. The work, led by artistic director Michelle Ryan, is a combination of dance performance and installation art." – Australian Traveller

“Shifting Perspectives was a beautiful mind-bending experience that expanded and stretched our reality. 5 Stars” – Arts Hub
