Show up. Warm up. Perform.
Presented by Lucy Guerin Inc, LIVENESS is an exciting new program for the Melbourne dance community and dance audiences to come together and experience improvisational movement in a relaxed and generous environment.
The program is open to all dancers to participate (LIVENESS: DOING), and anyone can be an observer (LIVENESS: WATCHING).
In LIVENESS: DOING, Rebecca Jensen and Emily Laursen will guide participating dancers through a warm up before the MPavilion space transforms into a platform for improvisational exploration and performance.
In LIVENESS: WATCHING, audiences are invited to observe this improvised performance as it unfolds in real time, with no prior rehearsals—as dancers respond to the geometric, kaleidoscopic design of the MPavilion structure, shifting light, and each other.
To participate as a dancer in LIVENESS: DOING, please register below.
What to wear/bring
- Please wear runners and comfortable clothing. Please also dress for the outdoors.
- Dancers are also encouraged to please bring a bottle of water.
Observers are invited to witness the improvised performance from 6.30pm and are welcome to come and go freely from 6.30–8pm.
LIVENESS was created in collaboration with Rebecca Jensen and Emily Laursen.
*All dancers must register to participate.
