Jo Lloyd & Eva Rothschild
CUTOUT
CUTOUT
Bringing together ten of Melbourne’s leading contemporary dancers, Lloyd will create a choreographic system based on the concept of taming a city, augmented landscapes, borrowed scenery, shared fictions and the endeavour of pilgrimage. The performers will negotiate Eva Rothschild’s sculptures choreographically, both verbally and non-verbally, in a live performance.
Lloyd’s choreographic methodology incorporates the use of set and ever-evolving parameters for the performers and herself to continually negotiate live. Her choreography examines information which resides in the body and requires the performers to fuel movement through intersecting fantasy and memory.
The concepts and themes in Eva Rothschild’s sculptural work resonate strongly with Lloyd’s practice, particularly with the ambiguity between renewal and collapse, structure and fluidity, open and closed forms.
