Nationally acclaimed performer/choreographer Brian Lucas holds a mirror up to our age of anxiety, revealing reflections which dazzle and provoke.

Dance, movement, physical imagery, voice and sound combine to create this intriguing and confronting dance theatre work.

Lucas draws on personal experience of the particular anxieties which arise when we find ourselves in front of a live audience, and explores the universal parallels that exist between the experiences of the professional performer and the struggle to "perform well" in our day-to-day lives, be it in the bedroom, the boardroom or the supermarket checkout queue.

Sit back with a glass of wine in "The Loser Bar" (Turbine Rehearsal Room, Brisbane Powerhouse) from 9 to 13 February and share in the tales of the terminally stressed, the people under pressure, and the heroes on their small crusades.
