澳大利亚舞蹈剧院艺术总监Daniel Riley因在演出中对观众医疗紧急情况的镇定专业处理而获得五星好评[1]。这部名为《Two Blood》的舞蹈作品由Riley、舞蹈编导Jasmin Sheppard和编剧S.Shakthidharan共同创作，于2024年8月13-15日在悉尼Carriageworks演出[1]。
该作品围绕淘金热时期一段跨族裔禁忌爱情故事展开，融合了James Howard和Andy Qilong Chia的配乐以及Elias Nohra的音视觉设计[1]。整体呈现不够连贯，精彩的群舞编排和配乐与较弱的诗歌朗诵和即兴发声片段混合在一起[1]。
The opening night of Two Blood at Sydney's Carriageworks showcased both the strengths and weaknesses of a collaborative dance work, with particular acclaim directed at Australia Dance Theatre's artistic director Daniel Riley for his composed handling of a medical situation during the performance.[1]
Created by Riley, dancer Jasmin Sheppard, and Sri Lankan-Australian writer-director S. Shakthidharan, the work explores a cross-cultural forbidden romance set against the backdrop of the gold rush era.[1] The production, which ran from August 13-15, 2024, featured music by James Howard and Andy Qilong Chia alongside visual design by Elias Nohra.[1] While the ensemble choreography and musical accompaniment demonstrated considerable craft, the overall presentation suffered from unevenness, with weaker passages of poetry recitation and improvised vocal segments undercutting the work's coherence.[1]
