Next Move 2016 — Chunky Move

Overview

Melbourne's critically acclaimed dance company Chunky Move are back with the world premiere of an explosive new double bill. A dual commission as part of their annual Next Move development program, which provides financial and creative support to local choreographers, Melanie Lane's REMAKE and Jo Lloyd and Nicola Gunn's Mermermer share a mutual fascination with "the histories embedded in another's body".

The former work sees Lane collaborate with ex-Australian Ballet soloist Juliet Burnett in a performance that navigates the space between classical and contemporary forms. The latter, meanwhile, sees a pair of dancers combine physical and verbal conversations in order to ask "if you were one of the last two humans on earth, what would you talk about?"

Next Move 2016 kicks off on Thursday, September 8 at Chunky Move Studios.
