Founded by Anne O’Keeffe in 1998, Sirensong is a dance theatre company investigating ways that movement, text and singing can be integrated to create a dynamic new form.

With a commitment to kinaesthetic embodiment and deep connection to physical and verbal text, Sirensong aims to provide audiences with potent, personal, intimate theatrical experiences.

The company’s first production, Walk on Water, explored women’s relationship with water using visual imagery and live a cappella singing in the Celtic tradition. Walk on Water was proudly supported by the City of Melbourne and presented at the Women’s Pool at the Melbourne City Baths in 1999, followed by a sell-out return season in March, 2000.

Anne O’Keeffe then created and performed Sex and Death, a full-length solo piece exploring love, loss and longing from a woman’s perspective. Influenced by Buddhism and Hindu mythology, Sex and Death was presented in two seasons at Chapel Off Chapel, Melbourne, in October 2002 and January, 2003 and supported by Chapel Off Chapel and the National Theatre.

Sirensong aims to create movement theatre that is a feast for the eyes, ears and heart.
