Synopsis
  The room in which it was created inspired Yeti in E Minor. The room was located at ‘The Cherry Herring’. The Cherry Herring was an independent dance space run by a collective of local artists in Brisbane during1996/97.

   The room was initially white with four walls. In preparation for this work, the interior walls were removed, leaving only the steel bracing. The floor, ceiling and two remainder stonewalls were painted black.

The room took on the appearance of a cage and inspired the next reinvention of the ‘Yeti’ character, trapped, caught and confined to a cage. Yeti in E Minor is the second of O’Neill’s solo dance works to feature the ‘Yeti’ character.
