THE ARTISTS




Luke George





-
Luke George is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, teacher and curator. His work has taken him through Australia, North America, Europe and Asia. He is best known for his performing work with Phillip Adams BalletLab, Jo Lloyd and Chunky Move. For Luke's own choreographies, highlights include Home, LIFESIZE and NOWNOWNOW (Dance Massive 2011). Luke was artistic director of Tasmanian youth Dance Company Stompin 2002-2008. He currently co-facilitates First Run with Brooke Stamp.

Right now in his work, Luke is exploring energy, time and consciousness with a particular interest in presence, and inhabiting strange spaces that are simultaneously explicit and mysterious: intensely visceral and highly cognitive. For Electric is the Future, Luke is joined by performers Rennie McDougall and Jason Hood for an experiment that uses performance improvisation, the attention of the audience, and methods of telepathy to explore the seen and unseen transmittance happening between bodies.

Kim Sargent-Wishart










-
Kim Sargent-Wishart is making performances again, after not. It's about time. Well, the piece isn't about time, it's about space and form. She is engaged in research which is a dynamic meeting of Body-Mind Centering and Tibetan Buddhism, asking questions (how? what? who?) and telling stories of body mind and space.

Chay-Ya Joy Clancy







-
I dance to touch into the sensing and perceptive space of being a trillion cells in contact and exchange with the infinite cellular dance of air.
I am my own inhabitant. 
I want to live on the frontier of the wonderous.
Assume that it has already begun and you don't need to enter.
Assume that the performer is aware of their audience.
As a performer, assume the audience is aware of you without demanding attention or building rapport.
What would you do if their attention was inherent?
How will you play with the space between your attention and theirs?
Dani Cresp
-
Dani Cresp is an improvisation artist, facilitator of shared practices and organiser of workshops and performance happenings. Her passion for improvisation practice and performance has taken her across Australia, to Europe and to America. She has set up regular practices for herself and others and performs at various improvisation events across Melbourne and in Hobart, Canberra and Brisbane.

Right now in her work, Dani is working with the notion of the "emerging long form solo". That is she just starts an impro and allows it to form over a 20-30minute period, noticing what has been. Its like walking backwards crafting and reframing what has already happened

Nicola Eddington







-
Nicola is an experiential movement artist devoted to the expression of her authentic essential self in whichever form that takes. 
Her passion for dance and improvisation has taken her to diverse places within Australia and around the world and around and within the landscapes of her own body and soul; constantly discovering and learning, and sharing her experiences through performances and workshop facilitation.

For 'Electric' Nicola is interested in exploring the realms of the etheric womb her body inhabits in space and shares with other bodies; a fluid and transitional space where rivers of 'you' and 'i' confluence, light and shade expand and condense, life and death are not opposite yet are internal to one another, both a spiralic matrix for within which the other intensifies. This piece is informed by the butterfly and that which it represents; breathing and hearing the most ancient self to life, a harbinger of sanctity, peace and eternity.
