“brilliantly choreographed, flawlessly and joyously performed . . . thoroughly entertaining from start to finish” - australian stage

Happy As Larry is a funny, playful and poignant new dance show, which investi-gates the elusive nature of human happiness. Created by award-winning Australian cho-reographer Shaun Parker, this powerful per-formance combines an intoxicating mix of ballet, break-dance, roller-skating and highly physical contemporary dance.

The cast of characters is developed from the Enneagram, a psychological system that maps nine personality types: The Perfectionist; The Giver; The Performer; The Tragic Romantic; The Observer; The Devil’s Advocate; The Optimist; The Boss; and The Mediator - all rich inspiration for Shaun Parker’s insightful creativity. Set to a vibrant electro/acoustic score by Nick Wales and Bree van Reyk, the performers bring fun and danger to the fore in this innovative and moving dance work.

Shaun Parker & Company is an exhilarating and bold new Australian dance company that has exploded onto the international dance scene, but it’s so much more than “dance”, or what people perceive as dance. It’s a company on a fast trajectory to international prominence, by focusing on delivering the highest quality performing art, integrating choreographic forms, story telling, diverse musical styles and theatrical invention, communicating strong, direct messages on big themes to the largest number of people nationally and internationally.

Led by award winning Artistic Director and Choreographer Shaun Parker, The Daily Telegraph describes his work as “so cutting edge it actually wanders o! the edge of any single-word defi nition...”

Based in Sydney and just over two years old, the company has already toured to Teat Champ Fleuri’s Total Danse Festival in La Reunion and played Australian festival hit Happy As Larry in eleven venues across the UK, including a sold out season at London’s prestigious Sadler’s Wells. Last year, Shaun Parker created two new works for the London Cultural Olympiad, Spill and Trolleys, winning the Argus Angel Award for Best Work at the Brighton Festival.

Referencing one of Parker’s hit shows of !""#, This Show Is About People - this Company is about people: people of all cultures, linguistic backgrounds, talents, ages and environments, from all walks of life and locations around the world.

Parker’s commitment to education and community outreach is evident through his work in Western Sydney with culturally diverse and often disadvantaged young people. The Yard, a work inspired by William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies and featuring $$ immigrant teenagers, received the !"%! Australian Dance Award, was featured on Foxtel’s STUDIO Channel, and is a !"%$ Helpmann Award Nominee for Best Presentation for Children The Yard.

“It’s smiles all round – on stage and in the audience. You have to welcome a dance piece about happiness… delightful” - The Sydney Morning Herald

directors notesIt is a great honour for us to tour our work Happy As Larry around Australia.

I would like to thank all the tour venues, the innovative team at Arts on Tour, my Producer, Olivia Ansell and my own creative team for their incredible hard work in making this tour a reality. My dancers are intrinsic to the birth of the work, taking seed ideas, and working with me, to create a new theatrical world for each production.

I am also particularly compelled to share our work with as many people as possible – it is a work about happiness, unhappiness and everything in between. As I glance at the world around us, and catch images on various media about what is happening within the global context, I am driven to investigate ‘human happiness’. It is precious. It is something that is as elusive as it is concrete. It is something that I encourage all of us to foster, to rediscover, and to remember.

Shaun Parker, Artistic Director
