Bookings now open for ‘(Un)Tethered’ at the Victorian College of the Arts

(Un)Tethered, presented by Victorian College of the Arts Dance and Design and Production, features choreographic dance works by David Prakash, Chimene Steele-Prior, Sarah Aiken and Luke George.

Tethered to a reality that is in a state of accelerating precarity, we perceive the fragile beauty that surrounds us with a heightened awareness of Dance as an act of assembly and renewal.  For VCA Dance’s 2024 Graduation Season, four new contemporary dance works by Melbourne-based choreographers affirm VCA’s commitment to constantly evolving creativity, to the power of intergenerational learning, and the transformative potential of the choreographic.  

Dance and Design and Production students have collaborated to present new choreographies and designs expressive of the diverse drivers that our contemporary present makes known.

David Prakash invites the dancers to unpack the importance of community building and interpersonal relationships, whilst tending to the collective responsibility that we hold to one another. In Chimene Steele-Prior’s work, dream-like states are evoked through pulsing fluid streams of movement that tumble and float.  VCA alum, Sarah Aiken makes a welcome return to VCA bringing her low-tec posthumanism in a work that offers multiple angles on the mythic and the real.  And finally, Luke George (also a VCA alum) creates a dialogue between bodies and ropes building tensegrity structures of intimate entanglement.   

(Un)Tethered will be at Space 28, 30 Dodds St., Southbank, 6-9 November at 7 pm and 9 November at 2 pm. Tickets are $15 full and $10 concession. Book now.
