Multi Story is a show re-told in our own language – leaning into humour, politics and poetics the intimacy of genuine connectedness and the comedy of communication that misses a beat.

Multi Story invites audiences to explore the three floors of the Launceston Library, discovering new ways to connect to storytelling, experiencing intimate tales in small clusters, as well as witnessing site specific dance at its best.

Come for an intimate journey with young Tasmanian dancers, exploring body language, spoken and unspoken communication, language construction and destruction.

This work has been developed with the artistic support of Choreographer Kyall Shanks and additional guest artists Denni Proctor, proud pakana woman, contemporary musician, performer and activist, Anna Seymour, a bilingual (Auslan/English) and proud Deaf woman with passion for her community, culture and language; and Yyan Ng, a multilingual musician living in Launceston.

In usual Stompin style the audience will be asked to sit, stand and move through the site – so leave the stilettos at home! This show is fully accessible; there will also be sensory friendly performances offered.
