AND YET

By Henrik Olsson musician, composer and Gry Kipperberg – dancer, choreographer.
An improvisation performance with Gry Kipperberg and live music by Henrik Olsson. It’s about listening. It’s the intermittent flow of give and take. It’s about a sudden interruption of a series of beginnings; it’s about allowing the unfinished.

(O) KOMPATIBLA LANDSKAP

By Richard Widerberg sound artist, musician & Lisa Larsdotter Petersson performance, visual -artist.
…stereo, mono, now it should work, nice there are different ways to do things, aha there maybe, have to restart, worked last time, compatible, it usually works, what is this, we try this way, now maybe, see, yes, now… Lisa and Richard meet between moments and cords in landscapes of movement and sound.

UNCEDED LANDS

Karin and Catherine reconnect to further their creative explorations begun in 2016. Australia meets Sweden, south meets north, heat meets cold, sound meets movement. Responding to each other and the emerging moment, Karin and Catherine layer dance, music and text to create mystery, beauty, surprise and story.

Catherine Magill is a Melbourne-based dancer with thirty years’ experience in performance art. She completed a BA (Dance) and is a certified Pilates Practitioner. In her art, she works with the embodied moment, crafting spontaneous choreography and spoken word. Catherine’s performance style is a beguiling mix of word and movement narratives, fiercely driven, with surprising shifts from steady and serious, to wry wit and dance clown. The content is political and poetic, speaking to issues from the personal to the global (e.g., feminism, ageing, the environment, social justice). Since 2012, Catherine performed annually with Debra Batton (as Such n Such) at Dancehouse Fringe Season, Melbourne Fringe Festival, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. As a soloist, she has taught and performed locally and internationally at Varia Festival (S), ImproXchange Berlin, the Australian Contact Improvisation Festival, Precipice (annual Australian Improvisation Festival), NOW Pieces, Deakin University, and in numerous self-produced shows. Currently Catherine is enrolled in the MA (Art in Public Spaces).
