Restless Dance Theatre
Restless Dance Theatre is one of Australia’s leading dance companies, working with young people with and without a disability to create dance theatre and run workshop programs.The company has existed for 17 years and achieved an enviable reputation for making highly original, large works of dance theatre. In 2008 Restless is establishing a touring company. The first work specifically designed to tour was Safe from Harm which was presented in Adelaide in April 2008 and be available for touring in 2009.
Restless is an integrated dance company which means that the art is made by young people with and without a disability working together. Rehearsals are structured so that the content and the expression of the dance are led by the people with a disability. Restless is a place where it is an advantage to have a disability. Dance is a mode of expression which allows people who may not have a verbal facility to speak eloquently to everyone.
Vision: Unexpectedly real dance theatre
Mission: Stretch artistically and develop wider markets for our work
The Guiding Values which underpin the company’s work are:
• Exploration: through artistic risk taking
• Collaboration: creating mutual ownership of achievements
• Calibre: ensuring our work and governance is of the highest standard
Some Reviews of Past Works:
That the result would be a success, few doubted. But for it to be quite so good, quite so competitive by any standards, makes it something special.... Expressive powers of this quality remind us of the transcending power of the arts.
The Advertiser - August 2005
Restless Dance Company is without question a leader in the field of youth dance and working with young people with and without a disability.
Lowdown Magazine â€" April 2005
The sense that these twelve performers are the originators, the initiators, the creative generators of their movement is impressive. Voorendt meets the challenge of directing young people in the performing arts: how to chart an ensemble trajectory of aesthetic education that fosters authenticity of artistic expression. In the choreography of Rebel Rebel, I saw dancers becoming artists for the future.
RealTime â€" June 2007
… director Ingrid Voorendt has significantly upped the ante both in the movement vocabulary and in the degree of difficulty, with impressive and satisfying results.

Restless Moves into Film!
Last year Restless worked with Sophie Hyde and Bryan Mason of Closer Productions to produce three short dance films called: Necessary Games. The films will have their world premiere screening as part of the Big Pond Adelaide Film Festival on 22nd February.
The Necessary Games films feature dancers from the Restless youth ensemble. The films were directed by Sophie Hyde who worked with three different choreographers who have all worked with Restless in the past: Paul Zivkovich, Kat Worth and Tuula Roppola.
The Necessary Games Films are:
Moths â€" Co-directed and choreographed by Paul Zivkovich
Two men collide in a dank night
world, drenched with loss and heavy with hope. Who do you see in your dreams?
Sixteen â€" Co-directed and choreographed by Kat Worth
A coming of age game about the joy, nervousness, desire and intimacy of the different kinds of connections a young woman will, did or might have in her life.
Necessity â€" Co-directed and choreographed by Tuula Roppola
A game between two girls eternally bound together as they trace their lives onto the walls of their room and try to get below the surface.
