Description Kay Armstrong in Little Asia Dance Exchange Network 2003

She might seem like just an ordinary woman with a passion for cars....but in Rara Avis cutting edge dancer Kay Armstrong hi-jacks that icon of Australian machismo - the motor vehicle - and takes it and us on a very personal road trip.

Through movement, imagery and spoken text Armstrong explores the issues of identity and belonging. She weaves through this new solo work a thread of a dream and the notion of what is real and what is imagined. Smattered with pathos and a keen sense of the absurd, Rara Avis is a rare bird indeed.
