Earlier in the year STRUT dance presented its annual short works season, “Short Cuts”. Audience members were asked to vote as to which of the short works should be developed into longer works for “Prime Cuts” season. Popular vote saw Laura Boynes and Emma Fishwick selected to present their works at “Prime Cuts”.
Having presented dance films at at Reeldance and Electrofringe in Australia and Cinedans in Amsterdam, "Prime Cuts" will be Boynes’s first opportunity to publicly present her new work Sous Vide in a professional theatre context. Sous Vide is a duet work that looks at ideas of preservation, and humanities’ attempts to immortalise the world around us.
Fishwick presented her solo A dance with no home as part of a triple bill entitled “Paperland” at Perth’s Fringeworld in 2014. She has been awarded a Department of Culture and the Arts WA Fellowship which has enabled her to undertake creative residencies in Sydney, Berlin and Perth. Emma’s work for "Prime Cuts" is entitled InBetween and is the result of her various mulit-faceted choreographic explorations to date. InBetween sits at the "'beginning of the end" of a trilogy of dance works by Fishwick. The first two works of the trilogy explore disruptions of meaning. This final work investigates what is left after that disruption of meaning occurs.
