Poetics of Home


Five screendance works by Melbourne dance artists responding to the home as site
This project curated by Gretel Taylor invited dancers with expertise in site-specificity and creating dance for video, to draw inspiration from Gaston Bachelard's classic text, The Poetics of Space, to create short screendance works with/in their homes. 

Created during the COVID-19 lockdown period, the project focuses on close-range kinaesthetic relationships with familiar objects and architecture, revisiting Bachelard's Poetics as a catalyst for danced departures. Bachelard transformed domestic spaces by articulating their psychic and mnemonic effects, to render these relationships alive, intriguing, shimmering. 
Artists: Dianne Reid, Tony Yap, Jonathon Sinatra, Charlotte Evans, Gretel Taylor & Laki Sideris.  

​
LAUNCH: Friday 26th June, 2020
