| Elizabeth Nabben and Steve Rodgers - Dance Better at Parties |
Dancemaker Gideon Obarzanek's first foray into text-based theatre is a modest, relatively simple yet impressive effort with his one act work 'Dance Better at Parties' for the Sydney Theatre Company. The play has only two actors and runs for only around an hour and fifteen minures yet it is a far better production than many of STC's longer plays over recent years. The story is focussed on Dave, a middle aged man overtaken with grief through the loss of his wife in a car accident. On a whim he signs up for a ten week set of dance classes in order to be less awkward and more confident when he goes out to parties and social gatherings (at least that's his explanation). Under the expert guidance of his lithe, patient dance instructor Rachel, slowly the ungainly Dave gains confidence with the rumba, tango, slow step and other ballroom dances. Steve Rodgers as 'Dave' is exceptional being in part, funny, heartbreaking and yet dignified as he persists with mastering the dance routines. Elizabeth Nabben appearing as 'Rachel' is very convincing portraying the dance instructor, handling often sensitive nuances with tact and delicacy. This is a touching play without excessive and unnecessary emotional devices and delivers its story within a well structured, well-paced format.
