Three dancers one continuous shot in public space

3 will premiere at Narrandjeri Stadium on 25-27 September 2025 at Narrandjeri Stadium. Choreographed by Yuiko Masukawa, this performance is the evolution of the film work that won The Australian Ballet’s Telstra Emerging Choreographers Award. It is a celebration of the virtuosity of dance, and the improvisational aesthetics of sport.

Three contemporary dancers - Geoffrey Watson, Louie Wisby and Benjamin Hurley - move through a balletic score in and around a live basketball game. Together with filmmaker Sam McGilp, they create a live screen dance work, presented to the audience in real-time. The work parallels dance and sport, acknowledging their shared expertise and artistry.

3 film version is available to view online via The Australian Ballet.
