New Work
No Hands is a poetic re-imagining of Isak Dinesen’s The Diver. Set in an Islamic culture somewhere in the timeless past, No Hands uses physical theatre, sound and video projection in an exploration of our obsession with imagined ideals and the possibility of flying, falling and floating towards the unknown.
CreateAbility, a mixed ability company based in Bendigo, has presented work at the previous two Castlemaine State Festivals, Produce in 2013 and Cultural Exchange in 2015.
‘The work we do draws on the life experiences of all of us. We work together to create vibrant, strong, curious, brave, heartfelt and wondrous performances.’
