MECHANIC
August 13, 2015 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$20.30Winner of the 2014 Western Australian Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography, Mechanic was first performed as part of The Blue Room Theatre’s Summer Nights program for Fringe World Perth 2014. Independent Choreographer Brooke Leeder returns with the award-winning work, this time at the PS Art Space, Fremantle. New space, new dancers, new moves.
Original Sound Composition by Dane Yates.
Brooke Leeder’s captivating Mechanic is an ambitious exercise in hard-edged rigour that has the potential to catapult its maker on to the main stage…Set to a driving industrial- tinged soundtrack, eight dancers charge about the small stage in gorgeous synchronicity. An exploration of the body as an organic machine, Mechanic brought to mind aspects of Didier Theron’s Hari Kiri, performed in Perth in 2009 and 2012….The dancers weave in and out of patterns, they split off for tautly choreographed duos, they join and rejoin the group, moving as one.
