Studio 3 presents
Remembered Lines
Fusing dance and physical theatre to explore the abstracted world of the every day, the lives of six individuals connect through their need for structure. Routines are pulled apart and analyzed through the eyes of others. Are we creatures of innocent habit? Or is there a point where routine becomes destructive?
8.30pm

Beyond Direction presents
Beyond The Lamplight
Inspired by Maeterlinck’s Interior
Only a door separates us from the outside. Even after the door has been shut; even after it has been bolted, the outside exists and is beyond our control. The future is suspended in the distance, gradually making its approach.

Sticky Pathways

30/04/2009

premiered 20th March 2009, 35 minutes

Choreographer’s note:
Sticky Pathways is an unfolding labyrinth of rambling dimensions and slanted reflections where people exist on the cusp of dream and reality.

Music note:
In Lucy’s Sticky Pathway the music has been involved in the creative process at all times . From the beginning we did dance and music improvisation where the dance and music influence each other. For this work it was very important to have a strong link between the dance and the music and to integrate completely the music and the musician in the work itself as well as incorporating sounds made by the dancers in the music. To be able to make this mutual influence dynamic we used live music either solo or with live electronics (bassoon, treble recorder solo and voice with live electronics) or accelerometers to follow closely the movements of the dancers. (Accelerometers from Nintendo Wii Remotes that control the sound in an application programmed by Sonia Paço-Rocchia using Max/MSP)
