Presented by Dancehouse, Sydney Dance Company and Australian Dance Theatre as part of ORBIT.
— Cycles upon cycles
Future History is a new ritual for a world in a constant state of flux.
Nankivell and her collaborators locate the body within cycles of global uncertainty, extinction, conflict, epidemic and catastrophic climate events to create a dance that thrives on the edge of oblivion.
Illuminating the vulnerability and resilience implicit on life on Earth, Nankivell uses every facet of her physicality to embody everything from the jittering of microscopic organisms to seismic ecological shifts.
Future History connects the personal and universal in a thrilling and urgent exploration of what it means to live here now, then and in the future.

Creative Collaborators Luke Smiles, Martin del Amo, Kristina Chan, Joshua Thomson, Rasmus Ölme & Vânia Vaneau
