Untrained
Arts House and Lucy Guerin Inc present Untrained at Dance Massive.

Untrained is a new work by Lucy Guerin Inc which questions our ideas about what is worth watching in a performance. This casual theatrical exploration presents four men, in a humorous examination of themselves and their art.
Two of these men are highly skilled, experienced dancers and two are acclaimed visual artists with no movement training whatsoever. What one man can do with ease, another can only approximate. But there are things that a trained body can't do that an untrained one can.
Each performer is given the same instructions. How they execute them constructs an individual portrait and also an unavoidable comparison between them. This evolution of information about each man, built up through units of action, points out what they have in common and where their physical histories set them apart.
Choreographer: Lucy Guerin
Performers: Ross Coulter, Antony Hamilton, Simon Obarzanek and Byron Perry
