Details

Shaun Parker s Happy As Larry is a funny, playful, poignant and intelligent investigation into what makes us happy, featuring an ensemble of nine performers - with nine very distinctive personalities - who individually, and collectively, explore the elusive nature of happiness. Adept at creating choreography driven by human emotion, personalities and psychological idiosyncrasies, Parker s Inspiration for the cast of characters in Happy as Larry was developed from the Enneagram - an ancient Greek model of human personality that has been developed in modern times as a psychological system that maps nine personality types: the Perfectionist, the Seducer, the Performer, the Tragic Romantic, the Observer, the Devil s Advocate, the Optimist, the Boss and the Mediator. Using a free-flowing mix of ballet, roller-skating, contemporary dance and break-dance, each performer constructs a unique movement expression for their character. Powerful, highly physical and layered with intricate gesture Happy as Larry is accompanied by a vibrant electro-acoustic score from Nick Wales and Bree van Reyk
