DirtyFeet is giving two early-career choreographers a chance to showcase their work as part of a new project entitled “Out of the Studio”, which will be presented at Shopfront Contemporary Arts & Performance in Carlton, Sydney, this March.
Rob McCredie is redeveloping a work that he began during DirtyFeet’s Choreographic Lab program. McCredie's new work explores ideas of freedom
and restriction -within a set framework the dancers are given the license to play flexibly with their timing, relationships to each other, and relationship to the audience.
Winston Churchill Fellow Sarah-Vyne Vassallo is creating an integrated dance piece with four dancers, two of whom identify themselves as having a disability. Vassallo comes from a background of working with artists with disability. She says that "Out of the Studio" is the perfect opportunity to pursue her passion. “Really it's just about finding creative ways to work with difference. And, whilst it’s achallenge it's actually a passion of mine as well, it's become something that I feel much more natural doing than if I was working in a room full of… trained classical dancers,” she comments.
