What I Think About When I Think About Dancing

Overview

Adapted from the title of the 2008 Haruki Murakami book What I Think About When I Think About Running (itself adapted from the title of Raymond Carver's 1980 short story, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love), What I Think About When I Think About Dancing is an interdisciplinary project comprised of a series of residencies, exhibitions, performances and a publication.

This is a mammoth project. Twenty-three dance and visual artists have been brought together "to question the meeting place of dance and visual arts across cultures, communities and by individuals”. Eleven of them (including Brian Fuata and Agatha Goethe-Snape, Gabriella Mangano & Silvana Mangano, Brown Council and renowned innovative UK choreographer Rosemary Butcher) will create new works on site through the residency program. A further four (Kate Murphy, Mitch Cairns, Christian Thompson and Shigeyuki Kihara) will present new works. And, if that line-up was not enough to convince, work by acclaimed Australian artists The Kingpins, Shaun Gladwell and David Noonan and emerging artists Laresa Kosloff and James Newitt, will also feature.

The Project launches on Friday 27 November with the opening of the exhibition and performance showings by Fuata and Goethe-Snape, Mitch Cairns, The Kingpins, Brown Council and Rosie Dennis.
