Event Description

Dance Victoria and Impulse Theatre co-present on the nature of… by recent Chrystal Dance Prize – Projects winner and local dance artist Amber Downie-Back. The work features Downie-Back and dancer and creator Emilie van der Waals (Netherlands)in an interdisciplinary performance and installation premiering at Dance Victoria (DV) Studios.

on the nature of… is the result of a long-term collaboration between Downie-Back, van der Waals, and sound and video designer Angus Gaffney. The work explores the intricate relationship between memory, nostalgia, past selves, and the act of letting go of once-imagined futures. Intertwining movement, projection, and sound, the artists create an immersive experience that invites audiences to reflect on their own journeys through time. Three performers serve as “memory caretakers” who navigate the intimate act of holding memories. They investigate how memories evolve alongside changes in our lives, exploring how memory lives in our bodies, symbolic objects, places, sounds, and images. Through planned interactions, the performers invite audiences to make inter- and intrapersonal connections through the exploration and sharing of memories.
