“We start 2015 and our next decade with the explosive next chapter of Dance Massive featuring over 80 artists in nine shows including seven world premieres,” said the Creative Producer of Arts House. Some highlights of the Dance Massive program include Rawcus’ focus on cataloguing the array of diverse bodies, Vicki Van Hout’s creation of new choreographic language exploring the oldest living culture on the planet, Phillip Adams’ investigation into queerness and the return of Rebecca Jensen and Sarah Aiken’s OVERWORLD (pictured) which premiered last year at Next Wave.
Some other highlights include post’s controversial Oedipus Schmoedipus; two works developed through Arts House’s CultureLAB: a Melbourne premiere from Tamara Saulwick (Endings) and a world premiere from Kate Neal (Semaphore); and another of the picks of last year’s Next Wave Festival, Matthias Schack-Arnott’s Fluvial.
Through support from the Australia Council Early Career Residency initiative, Arts House Season 1, 2015 will also feature Bek Berger’s finely curated Supper Clubs that will enliven conversations and industry practice including the first discussion on Debriefing and rethinking after the Australian Theatre Forum on Tuesday February 10.
