One Thing Follows Another… – Performance Space: Score

Overview

Imagine a performance where dancers don't always dance to the music playing and where the music itself isn't necessarily made for dance. This is One Thing Follows Another…, a collaborative performance showcased this month through Performance Space. Sydney sound artist Gail Priest has teamed up with Jane McKernan, one-third of dance trio The Fondue Set to co-create the playful performance that draws heavily on the 1960s avant-garde.

Joined by dancers Angela Goh and Lizzie Thomson, the show tests the collaborative relationship between music and dance in live performance. Don't be surprised if the performers stop for a casual game of cards or to bake a cake mid-show — this experimental work invites audiences to experience the creation of movement and sound as a process, segmented by differing actions yet connected by the inevitable passing of time.

One Things Follows Another... plays as part of Performance Space's Score season of works driven by dance, movement, music and noise. Highlights include the bodybuilding/dance mash-up that is Natalie Abbott's acclaimed MAXIMUM, Force Majeure's boundary-pushing dance lab Culminate and Psychic Synth, a digital work by Pia Van Gelder that will read your mind.
