The Amber Temple is an original music and interpretive dance collaboration between singer-songwriter Julian Temple and contemporary dancer Amber Gabrielle Stephens. The story-telling duo utilise theatrical elements with costume and face paint to create an immersive and visceral environment.
The powerful duo use their respective art forms to articulate beautiful and strange vignettes in perfect harmony and synchronicity.
The dancer articulates the songs with a variety of movement styles ranging from mime to hip hop to fluid contemporary dance. Guitar with looping and pedals supports a bluesy, gravelly voice that will carry you through a multitude of cadence, resonance and emotion.
Temple, known mostly for his work in the eponymous Julian Temple Band has written all new works for the show while Stephens, a trained contemporary ballet dancer and choreographer who ran her own dance company in Vienna, has choreographed the interpretive dance for this unique performance. Each vignette, brought to life in real time, will draw you into the lives of each character with both fascination and spine-tingling empathy.
