Expressions Dance Company (EDC) will propel emerging local and international choreographers into the spotlight this March with its “Propel” mixed bill season.
Presented at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Art, the “Propel” program will feature work by Australian choreographers Lisa Wilson, Amy Hollingsworth and Elise May, and Chinese choreographer Xu Yiming, performed by dancers from EDC.
Xu Yiming comes to “Propel” under the auspices of EDC’s Chinese Australian Dance Exchange Project, which facilitates the creation of collaborative new works, residencies, exchanges and tours. He will perform his solo Waiting Alone. Xu will also perform as a guest artist in EDC’s Behind Closed Doors later this year.
Lisa Wilson’s Hollow Lands examines the powerful feelings that surge inside us when we come to the brink, creating a work that teeters between abandonment and structure. Inspired by the sculptural light installation Through Hollow Lands by Etta Lilienthal, this work features a lighting design by Ben Hughes.
Brisbane-based Amy Hollingsworth, draws her audience into the all-consuming, heartbreaking and exhilarating rollercoaster of human relationships. Deeper Than Ink captures the emotional intensity of someone being inked on your soul, deeper than any tattoo.
Elise May's Written on the Body highlights the power we each hold to determine who we let into our intimate private world, how each person shapes the way we perceive ourselves and how each encounter changes our future.
