Tonight, NORPA's impossible production becomes possible

Tonight, the first performance of O, How I Dreamt of Things Impossible at Lismore City hall opens up audiences to a world where people dance their dream of life as they want it to be.


Produced in association with NORPA, Sprung!! Integrated Dance Theatre’s latest work is a moving journey into the minds and dreams of seven dancers with disabilities.



The production was co-devised by the dancers and brings to us stories that the world needs to hear.


Through the lens of seven young, imaginative and curious minds, we rediscover the power of dreams. Dreams that summon the optimism and strength to overcome the doubts we all share about life.


Sprung!! Company Dancer Tallula Bourne said “we’re creators, we’re dreamers, we design our reality. Oh, how we dream of things impossible.”



Described as a physically dynamic and hopeful work, O, How I Dreamt of Things Impossible reframes our perspective and shows that Impossible can be transformed into I’m Possible.


Sprung!! Company Dancer Zac Mifsud said “I think of many, many things about myself [when I make dance]. About emotions, suffering and pain too, and heartbreak…”


O, How I Dreamt of Things Impossible will perform over three nights this weekend, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 22 to 24 at Lismore City Hall.


The performance on Friday 23 October will be Auslan interpreted and will also feature an up close and personal Q& A with Sprung!! dancers after the show.
