By Kate Stanley & Fiona Bryant

Entry by Donation

As choreographers we approach the making and performing of dance from a holistic position. Through processes that acknowledge and stimulate the inherent intelligence of the human body and mind, the performer is rendered unequivocally visible. We believe that by embodying an attitude of pliability in the context of live performance, there exists the potential for far greater fullness in the experiences of both the performer and audience. In this fullness conceptions of dance are challenged, creating a provocative and unbounded environment.

Kate Stanley and Fiona Bryant have been collaborating choreographically together since 2007. Their first combined performance Wild was created at Dancehouse, supported through the ‘Summer Space grant’ and was later developed into Max Grr through a collaboration with English Architect Ben Edwards as part of ‘Pop Ups!’, in the ‘International Design Festival’. In October 2008, Fiona and Kate created Max, performed at ‘The Age Melbourne Fringe Festival’, receiving the Best Dance Award and currently nominated for an Australian Dance Award 2009.
