From 1 August – 7 September, Sydney’s Carriageworks will be presenting a five week festival of dance, sound, music and live art, entitled Performance Space: Score.  Amongst the companies and artists featured are Chunky Move, Force Majeure, Narelle Benjamin and Natalie Abbott.

Chunky Move will present Antony Hamilton’s Keep Everything from 13 to 16 August.  A fusion of dance and performance, Keep Everything splices choreography, electronica, spoken text and improvised movement to trace human evolution from primates to robots and back again.

Force Majeure’s "Culminate" program will be presented 13-16 August.  "Culminate" is the final stage of a 2-year dance theatre laboratory developing a new generation of culturally diverse dance theatre makers and performers in Australia. Following on from 2013’s "Cultivate", it opens up the laboratory to the wider dance sector through daily open classes, a one-off public performance, a season of showings and a public forum.

Narelle Benjamin’s Hiding in Plain Sight will be presented 22-30 August.  Hiding in Plain Sight  comprises two solos performed in the same space with separate but overlapping timelines; each performer (Kristina Chan and Sara Black) subliminally present in the other’s solo and overlapping at a meeting point centre stage. NB! You could win a double pass to this performance!  Find out more here!

One Thing Follows Another by Gail Priest and Kane McKernan will be presented 20-23 August.  One Thing Follows Another is a performative negotiation between the art forms of dance and music. Jane does not always dance to Gail’s music and Gail does not always make music to dance to. This balancing act of independence and collaboration is played out with more than a nod to the Fluxus movement and 1960s avant-garde.

Maximum, by Natalie Abbott, will be presented 27-30 August.  A show with muscle – literally – Maximum will test the boundaries between dance and sport. A rigorous work investigating the similarities and disparities between a dancer and bodybuilder, audiences will witness the human body being taken to its physical limits.
