★★★★★ “momenta is an electric and arresting celebration of light and life…”- Sydney Morning Herald
Feel the rush, the grace, and the power of movement like never before! From tender moments to an electrifying storm of energy, momenta sweeps you up in a breathtaking journey of individuality and unity. Watch as dancers push beyond physical limits, exploring the full range of their bodies with raw vulnerability, strength, and elegance.
With Rafael Bonachela’s signature choreographic magic at its core, momenta weaves together the dynamic forces of life into a stunning celebration of connection and flow.
This is more than a performance—it’s an invitation to revel in the beauty, fragility, and shared humanity that binds us all. Don’t just watch it—feel it. Join us for momenta!
Choreographed by Rafael Bonachela.

momenta will be accompanied by a collection of resources for teachers and students to explore the creation of the work. These resources will be made available online free and offers teachers and students insightful videos and interviews with creatives, descriptions and explanations of Artists’ creative processes as well as a range of Appreciation and Composition activities relating to the performance.
These resources will enhance your students’ live-performance experience, support an in-school workshop or be used as a standalone resource to investigate contemporary dance.
