Dancehouse // Victoria Chiu’s ‘Floored’

Fb-Button

Last year I had the chance to work with dancer Victoria Chiu during the development stage for her latest piece at Dancehouse.

Floored was Chiu’s exploration into comfort and complacency – our love of indulgence, our dependence on routines, our addiction to intricate mechanisms generating imprisoning comfort zones and safety nets.

Click here for her interview about the piece with Paul Ransom for Dance Informa.

Chimene in the Studio

I met with Chimene for a quick portrait session, and to photograph her at work on her latest dance piece.

She makes me want to use my body a lot more than I do.

REhearse @ Window 99

Fb-Button

REhearse is an initiative by the good folk at Window99, a Brunswick st window gallery space. They’ve opened the window displays to create an exposed rehearsal space, with over a dozen performance artists using the space to create their latest pieces.

I was invited to photograph a session with Chimene and Elenor. They’re working on a dance piece which is 100% collaborative, drawing inspiration from a variety of emotions. Within the session there were no choreographed moves… they sat together asking questions of a personal (and very random) nature, then began creating movements expressing the moods they had put themselves in.
