Zero

Commission for Chunky Move, Melbourne
Premiere 16 February, 1999

Zero was a commission for Melbourne based dance company Chunky Move as part of their Bodyparts season. It is a contemporary exploration in movement using the manipulation of self and others to present selected perspectives. This uneasy work continually censors itself, reinventing its structural identity and the individuals within it with the cold objectivity of a camera lense.

Zero premiered at The CUB Malthouse
Melbourne, Australia on 16th February 1999
