Happy as Larry is a dynamic, playful and beautifully layered new dance work which investigates the elusive nature of human happiness.
Created by award-winning choreographer Shaun Parker, this powerful performance combines an intoxicating, free-flowing mix of ballet, break-dance and highly physical contemporary dance. Accentuated by a vibrant electro/acoustic score, the performers bring fun and danger to the fore in this innovative and moving dance work.
Happy as Larry fuses gritty urban realism with jaw-dropping performances to create an uplifting exploration of the human condition. Following national and international tours, Parker has developed a reputation for choreography which combines a “fat dose of funny” with a visionary dance aesthetic.
