STRANGE ARRANGEMENTS Physical theatre company Nigel Luck and Janet Lee began Strange Arrangements in 1996. Since their first show at Dancehouse in Melbourne, they have been negotiating the foggy landscape between dance and theatre. In 1998 they made two new shows; Cadence and Vertical Hold. During their residency at PICA they will continue their physical praxis, examine possibilities for a new work and negotiate some new vectors for fog navigation.
