what
makes
us
happy?
Happy As Larry is a funny, playful and
poignant new dance show, which investigates the elusive nature of human happiness.
Created by award-winning Australian choreographer Shaun Parker, this powerful performance combines an intoxicating mix of
ballet, break-dance, roller-skating and highly
physical contemporary dance.
The cast of characters is developed from the
Enneagram, a psychological system that maps
nine personality types: The Perfectionist; The
Giver; The Performer; The Tragic Romantic;
The Observer; The Devil’s Advocate; The
Optimist; The Boss; and The Mediator - all
rich inspiration for Shaun Parker’s insightful
creativity. Set to a vibrant electro/acoustic
score by Nick Wales and Bree van Reyk, the
performers bring fun and danger to the fore in
this innovative and moving dance work.

shaun
parker &
company
directors notes
It is a great honour for us to tour our work
Happy As Larry around Australia.
I would like to thank all the tour venues,
the innovative team at Arts on Tour, my
Producer, Olivia Ansell and my own creative
team for their incredible hard work in
making this tour a reality. My dancers are
intrinsic to the birth of the work, taking seed
ideas, and working with me, to create a new
theatrical world for each production.
I am also particularly compelled to share
our work with as many people as possible
– it is a work about happiness, unhappiness
and everything in between. As I glance at
the world around us, and catch images on
various media about what is happening
within the global context, I am driven to
investigate ‘human happiness’. It is precious. It
is something that is as elusive as it is concrete.
It is something that I encourage all of us to
foster, to rediscover, and to remember.

Shaun Parker & Company is an exhilarating and
bold new Australian dance company that has
exploded onto the international dance scene,
but it’s so much more than “dance”, or what
people perceive as dance. It’s a company on
a fast trajectory to international prominence,
by focusing on delivering the highest quality
performing art, integrating choreographic
forms, story telling, diverse musical styles and
theatrical invention, communicating strong,
direct messages on big themes to the largest
number of people nationally and internationally.
Led by award winning Artistic Director and
Choreographer Shaun Parker, The Daily
Telegraph describes his work as “so cutting
edge it actually wanders off the edge of
any single-word definition...”
Based in Sydney and just over two years old,
the company has already toured to Teat Champ
Fleuri’s Total Danse Festival in La Reunion and
played Australian festival hit Happy As Larry in
eleven venues across the UK, including a sold
out season at London’s prestigious Sadler’s
Wells. Last year, Shaun Parker created two new
works for the London Cultural Olympiad, Spill
and Trolleys, winning the Argus Angel Award
for Best Work at the Brighton Festival.
Referencing one of Parker’s hit shows of
2007, This Show Is About People - this
Company is about people: people of all
cultures, linguistic backgrounds, talents, ages
and environments, from all walks of life and
locations around the world.

Tony Jones-Chair, Rebecca Barnett, Kim
Bluett, Danielle Harvey, Lily Lee, Shaun Parker
Parker’s commitment to education and
community outreach is evident through his
work in Western Sydney with culturally diverse
and often disadvantaged young people. The
Yard, a work inspired by William Golding’s
Lord Of The Flies and featuring 33 immigrant
teenagers, received the 2012 Australian Dance
Award, was featured on Foxtel’s STUDIO Channel,
and is a 2013 Helpmann Award Nominee for
Best Presentation for Children The Yard.
Shaun Parker & Company are supported
by Arts NSW Trade & Investment, Australia
Council for the Arts and are proud residents
of the Seymour Centre.
“It’s smiles all round – on stage and in
the audience. You have to welcome a
dance piece about happiness… delightful”
