A
BOWLS CLUB WEDDING was the ‘hit of Darwin
Festival 2003’. It featured the fabulous
Grey Panthers
who were accompanied by local comedy legends Gail Evans and Yoris Wilson and Tracks’ male youth dancers
who displayed a funky ballroom style.
As parochial as Dimboola and as zany as
Crackerjack, A Bowls Club Wedding shared the passion
of Romeo and Juliet with the fury of a footy grand final! |

"Darwin audiences
have recently been thrilled and uplifted by A BOWLS
CLUB WEDDING, a recent production of TRACKS Inc. Featuring
the Grey Panthers, this raucously amusing theatrical
entrepot of song, dance and music enjoyed a sell out
season during the 2003 Darwin Festival. |
| The combination of
pulse and verve of these young dancers juxtaposed the
grace and charm of the Grey Panthers to create a work
where dance, in various genres and forms, took centre
stage… |
However, it was the
contrast, between young and old - dance of the past
and dance of present – that gave A Bowls Club Wedding
its edge of distinction. With comedy and wit the coming
together of different generations through the dance
styles that mark their times, conveyed the continuum
of dance as a social form of expression and enjoyment.
A BOWLS CLUB WEDDING was received by Darwin audiences
with heartfelt pleasure. The "dancing grannies"
combined with the "grunge ‘n groove grandsons"
made a potent cocktail that left its audience with a
mellow afterglow."
