Bodies lose their edges, overlap, coexist, slip between forms and temporalities. Working across movement, materials, video and light, this assembled choreography is an ecology of parts, versions, assembled & reassembled - human & non-human - finding patterns of unintentional coordination, multiform, multi-temporal collaboration.

This production is presented within a program of three New Dance Works by David Prakash, Chimene Steele-Prior, Sarah Aiken and Luke George collectively titled ‘(Un) Tethered’.

“Tethered to a reality that is in a state of accelerating precarity, we perceive the fragile beauty that surrounds us with a heightened awareness of Dance as an act of assembly and renewal. For our 2024 Graduation Season, four new contemporary dance works by Melbourne-based choreographers affirm VCA’s commitment to constantly evolving creativity, to the power of intergenerational learning, and the transformative potential of the choreographic.”

Carol Brown, Head of Dance
