World Premiere

Influencer is a captivating exploration of social media's impact on our lives. 

Led by Kyall Shanks, five artists equipped with 50 selfie lights unravel the power of digital algorithms and how they shape our everyday behaviours. From the subtle influences of political leaders and pop culture icons to the captivating allure of social media personas, Influencer offers a unique insight into the subconscious manipulation we all face.

Influencer promises a dynamic fusion of talent and perspective, featuring powerful storytelling, innovative choreography, and thought-provoking visuals.

Following the visceral Body Body Commodity, we’re thrilled to present the world premiere of Tasdance’s latest compelling dance work, which explores current societal issues.
