We are thrilled to announce that BODY AND ENVIRONMENT received the 2018 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Youth Dance at the Australian Dance Awards.
First presented in Bega in June 2018, the work was set to tour to Wollongong and Western Sydney in July 2020, which was sadly cancelled due to COVID. We are currently developing a film version of the work that will undertake a virtual tour of screenings in 2021-22.

A physical journey through psychological spaces
Body and Environment is an original full length performance set within a unique transforming set installation. A suspended web of 64 interconnected shirts is manipulated by the performers to create a series of spaces; from architectural structures to natural environments, public and private spaces, to the subconscious internal landscapes of the mind. The audience is invited on a journey through these physical and psychological spaces, reflecting on how the spaces we move through consciously and unconsciously affect our everyday lives and shape our imaginative worlds.

BODY AND ENVIRONMENT was developed as a continuation of a long-term collaboration between Co Artistic Director Rob McCredie and Melbourne based Independent Dancer and Choreographer Holly Durant. Their collaborative work has explored the relationship of dance and design, including a range of immersive installations and costumes, playing with amplifying movement while framing, revealing and concealing the body, and has seen them working together in London, France, Melbourne and Sydney.
