. . . is a full length (50minute) work in three parts for six dancers. It was first performed by TasDance, Tasmania's only professional dance company, from whom it was commissioned in April 2004.
light
there is a particular light that quickens the heart and catches the breath at the back of the throat. it seems to vibrate from within: internally luminescent
the dancers, under the influence of the moon take on another persona. luna sea invites you to take this same voyage
in this landscape before language, mouths open to swallow the charcoal cloud and the eye rolls in fear. beyond the smudge of the horizon dogs bark and we feel the weight of stones on our cheek
this dance is a life and death struggle for the few remaining inhabitants of a stark and unforgiving landscape. we arrive on a dying planet where the only sustenance is hope, ritual and the cinders of desire.
white dew
upon the autumn moon
white dewdrops sparkle on the grass
a gust of wind swept by
and all the unstrung beads
were scattered down alas
