In Stereo

2015

Dance

Artist/s: Choreographer: Kate McIntosh (NZ/BELGIUM), Original Score: Bree van Reyk (NSW), Collaborators: Bob Scott (NSW), Collaborator: Lizzie Thompson (NSW), Research Collaborator: Angela Goh (NSW)

In Stereo experiments with the practice of sound choreography and presents a stereo conversation between the artists to create an immersive new work that includes a sea of sparkles, moments of sudden darkness, loud sounds, tiny sounds, drums, disco-balls and bass vibrations.

Audiences were invited into the center of a large installation that has a backstage studio atmosphere. The experience is binary – parts of the performance are only heard in complete darkness, in contrast with vibrant, Technicolor musical choreographies. Following an offsite residency at Ufer Studios, Berlin, Germany, Kate McIntosh and Bree Van Reyk undertook a 3-week final stage residency at Campbelltown Arts Centre before premiering their new collaborative (music and dance) work In Stereo at Campbelltown Arts Centre in August 2015.

Partners: Tanzfabrik, Berlin; Critical Path, Sydney.
