Gertrude Glasshouse

44 Glasshouse Road, Collingwood

Opening: Thursday 31 May, 68pm

Remaking Dubbing was a work for three dancers working with the premise of re-enacting a yet unmade work, so in the process of re-enacting it the actual work is created. It played with seen and unseen scenarios, a doubling of bodies, and performers who work with one another as well as with invisible forces. It uses movement, sound, recorded image, light, and codes. The action is situated in a room with three people, housing their circulating energies, thoughts, insecurities, and memories. The bodies mostly appear to looks outward, apparently disconnected from one another, sometimes bored with themselves, ascending and descending, becoming for a moment monumental, as they search for something greater than what is physically closest to them. Performed by Kara Burdack, Daniel Newell, Deanne Butterworth. Sound by Michael Munson and video by James Wright.
