STAMPEDE THE STAMPEDE  (2015)

Picture
In STAMPEDE THE STAMPEDE a lone-body is caught within a demanding choreographic apparatus. The body is affected and moved as a consequence of a series of interjections from machines. The machines and the collaborators who made them, share the load of the performance - collectively burrowing deep into dynamics of rupture, turbulence, suspense and attack. 

A raging installation
A corrosion of posture
A rupture disrupted
A controlled struggle
A predictable scribble
A violent fragility
A suspended rush
A mechanical falling
A splintering of individual
A lyrical hoard
A chaser being chased
A turbulent ballet
Surrounds the surrounded
Stampedes the stampede



Stampede the Stampede premiered at Arts House,
Melbourne in 2015 for Dance Massive followed by a season at Campbelltown Arts Centre for their curated dance program.
The project has received funding from
Australia Council for the Arts: Dance Board, Creative Victoria and City of Melbourne: Arts House.
