… a melding of dance styles where hip hop meets line dancing meets traditional Asian dance …
Mr Big is a collectively devised piece, performed by people who evidently feel as if they own it. This is everything community theatre can be: not the domain of petty tyrants, weekend drama queens and teetering sets but a collaborative effort unleashing local creativity and expression; a living story created by people with a real connection to their audience.

"…how
do you simultaneously build houses and maintain a critical
edge in your work? Tim Newth and David McMicken have
been Tracks artistic directors for over 10 years which
has given them the opportunity to develop a practise
that tackles this issue. They have established a reputation
for intelligent, innovative productions addressing ideas
relevant to their audiences with historical narratives,
youth devised works and large scale cross-cultural productions.
They collaborate with Indigenous communities, youth
and seniors."

enthusiastic audiences."

"An extraordinary
show…powerful, beautiful, funny, deeply moving,
simple and complex. A genuine fusion of the traditional
and contemporary, combining old and new ways – painted
breasts with rock and rap."

"Darwin audiences
have recently been thrilled and uplifted by
A
Bowls Club Wedding…this raucously
amusing theatrical entrepot of song, dance and music
enjoyed a sell out season during the 2003 Darwin Festival."

"Grave, gripping,
traditional, the debut Western performance by the Central
Desert’s Janganpa
Dancers
(Directed by Tracks) earlier this week was the signature
event of this year’s Alice Springs Festival."
