MICROMOVE PERFORMANCES
Act 2, Scenes 1-4 – The Murder / The Horror / The Arrest / The Escape – Scott Elstermann
Watch the conflict unfold as symmetry, speed and split screen reconstructions confront each other in a melodrama based on Wes Anderson’s cinematic style.
Air and Artefact – Annette Carmichael & James Gentle
A visual song for egg shell and air in which sound and choreography merge into a fragile volume of memories. From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Beauty Index, this performance deepens the collaboration between two of Denmark’s leading performance artists.
Climacteric – Natalie Allen
Turning points and critical stages of our lives are inherent to our existence. Great change asks us to embrace our vulnerabilities and find true transformation.
A sense of essence – Yilin Kong
An excerpt of a larger work, Essence, describing femininity. Through physical form it looks at the shape and idea of femininity throughout history and how it shifts light within our lifestyle.
From one to the next – Storm Helmore
An improvised response to choreographic material created on the day of each show – an entirely new performance each night it’s performed.
If Neapolitan ice-cream could melt the Sun – Zachary Lopez
An interrogation into ideas relating to identity and its assimilation as both a way of integration and division; an investigation of space, self and society.
Heartbreak for the lone swimming fish – Isabella Stone
This solo is an attempt to physicalise and embody the sensations of imagining how Mother Nature feels crippling beneath the weight and waste of us.
Tender – Michelle Aitken
Belonging to the performers, who dance their resilience and femininity and the co-existence of conflicting desires. They choose vulnerability even after the first time.
VOSS – Steamworks Arts
“Perhaps true knowledge only comes of death by torture in the country of the mind…” A reflection and reframing of the explorer narrative in the novel VOSS by Patrick White, and the opera VOSSby Meale and Malouf.
When A Woman Loves A Man – Mitchell Harvey
Inspired by a poem of the same name by David Lehman, this is a quirky look at the inner workings of relationships in today’s society.
