PERFORMANCE HISTORY

Created on the second year Victorian College of Arts dance students, presented at VCA Performing Arts Theatre, The University of Melbourne, Southbank Campus.

WOW is a work that evolved from the particular and challenging circumstances of its making, at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Working over Zoom, eventually in the studio, then finally in the theatre, we constructed a dance for and with the second-year dancers.

WOW brings these women together in their separateness, hinting at resonances of that time - memories that are confined to their hands and eyes, restricted dimensionality, and a quiet intensity of focus that evokes a sort-of continual processing, or a repeated playing out of singular moments.
