Show notes
The highly charged and evocative sound and smell of a struck match provide the ignition point for A Small Prometheus; a new work for five dancers about the consequences of small actions and the fragility of physical systems.Combustion and transformation drive the unfolding choreography as dancers synchronise, mesh and collide. Fire-driven kinetic sculptures become part of live interactive sound-and-movement loops between dancer, sculpture and machine.Two of Australia’s most exciting and uncompromising artists, Stephanie Lake and Robin Fox, seamlessly interlace choreography, sound and objects to create rich tension in a work that swings deftly between chaotic, free-form experiments and mechanically intricate moments. A Small Prometheus createsa strange and enthralling world of darkness, light and the spark that mediates the two.This postshow Q&A was recorded on Thursday 17th October 2013Created by: Stephanie Lake and Robin FoxChoreographer: Stephanie LakeComposer and Sculpture Designer: Robin FoxPerformers: Alana Everett, Lauren Langlois, Rennie McDougall, Lily Paskas, Lee SerleLighting Designer: Jen HectorCostume Designer: Harriet OxleyProduction Manager: Richard Dinnen, MegafunProducer: Insite Arts
