PICA partners with STRUT Dance to present Restore, a dynamic double bill of new and recent dance works highlighting innovation and cross-regional collaboration.

In 2025, Restore features a new choreographic commission from Adelina Larsson Mendoza and the West Australian premiere of CUDDLE by Harrison Ritchie-Jones.
 
In CUDDLE, two of Melbourne’s contemporary dance artists on the rise, Harrison Ritchie-Jones and Michaela Tancheff, engage in a difficult and dynamic duel filled with surreal sonic and visual surprises. Weaving contemporary dance with elements from martial arts, figure skating, rodeo barnyard dance and a host of more abstract inspirations, CUDDLE ebbs and flows from the joyful and absurd to the inventive and technically brilliant.
 
Bell is a new solo performance and the latest instalment in Min Folkdans, an ongoing archival research project and choreographic collection by Adelina Larsson-Mendoza. Drawing from Larsson-Mendoza’s Swedish-Mexican family history, Min Folkdans unfolds as a personal, political, and historical meditation on the folk dances that have shaped her imagination.
