Premiere 6 September 2005
Love Me is a program of three works which explore relationships in projected environments.
Reservoir of Giving I and II
Reservoir of Giving I and II addresses the space between people and how we attempt to reconcile that distance through language. Set within a stylised domestic environment, the dancers seem lifted straight from a designer lifestyle magazine but present a less than perfect view of contemporary life.
Choreography: Lucy Guerin
Visual Artist: David Rosetzky
Music: Paul Healy
Lighting: Keith Tucker
Stylist: Moira Rogers
Cast
Kyle Kremerskothen, Kirstie McCracken
On
On is a duet which occurs in isolated windows of light and projection.The two dancers perform detailed miniatures of closeness and separation which reinforce the vast darkness which waits outside their tiny bright world.

Music: Darrin Verhagen
Lighting: Keith Tucker
Cast
Kirstie McCracken, Byron Perry
Melt
Melt descibes a rise in temperature from freezing to boiling with each degree explored temperamentally and physically. It is a highly focused duet for two women whose detailed movements are intensified by the mercurial medium of motion graphics.
