Choreographed by Graeme Murphy for Sydney Dance Company, Boxes premiered on 5 November 1985. The cast was led by Kim Walker as Figure #1 Male, Janet Vernon as Figure #1 Female, and Paul Mercurio as Figure #2 Male. The work was danced to a commissioned score from Iva Davies and his associate, Robert Kretschmer. It had costumes by Anthony Jones, a set designed by Laurence Eastwood and it was lit by John Drummond Montgomery.
Program notes for the original production: BOXES reflects on a world where physical and emotional barriers are erected knowingly, and all too often unknowingly; a world where we strive to measure and analyze everything in our physical universe. It is a view through a window into an environment - a world of change.
