DirtyFeet will present its “Out of the Studio” program at Shopfront Arts, Carlton NSW, June 30 and July 1, featuring work by Matt Cornell and Thomas E.S. Kelly.
The “Out of the Studio” program provides an opportunity for choreographers to develop ideas they have previously explored with DirtyFeet. The presentation platform allows each choreographer to bring simple staging into the equation early in the development of a dance work, bridging the gap from the studio to the theatre.
Thomas E.S. Kelly’s work, Coexisting Entities, sees the developing of a way to create a new world where Indigenous, non-Indigenous and spiritual creatures intersect. It is a place void of day or night, a world where coexistence is existing. This is achieved through the amalgamated physical language of cultural knowledge and Western structures, with a bit of imagination.
Matt Cornell’s I Learnt My Cultural Dance From YouTube, explores the idea that when dance moves and styles go viral, they take up residence in our bodies and notions of self, and that this is the cultural dance of a mobile, connected, globalised community.
