Title of Project：contemporary dance PENDULUM

Genre(s): Contemporary Dance. Other.

GROUP:Lucy Guerin Inc

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF : PENDULUM is an expansive performance installation created by percussive artist Matthias Schack-Arnott and choreographer Lucy Guerin. Seven dancers roam amongst a field of moving pendulums that each consist of a suspended bell that tolls, pulses, and hums. As they rush through the air in visceral sweeps of sound and light, the music is driven by the speed and force of their motion. The performers activate the bells; hurling, catching, stopping, spinning, dodging, and resisting the swing in their dance with gravity. The power and vulnerability of the human body is revealed through these attempts to control the relentless rise and fall of the pendulum’s weight in this eternally moving frame. Commissioned by RISING Melbourne, the work premiered at NGV International in May 2021 and was restaged in an entirely outdoor version in October 2022 as part of Melbourne Fringe. It has since toured to Biennale Danza in July 2023, as part of Venice Biennale; and will next be performed in Paris at the Théatre National de Chaillot in January 2024. Lucy Guerin Inc (LGI) is an Australian dance company established in 2002 to create and tour dance works by founding Artistic Director, Lucy Guerin. The Company has been based at its own venue, WXYZ Studios in Melbourne, since 2018. LGI is dedicated to challenging and extending the art of contemporary dance – through the creation of Guerin’s choreographic projects which regularly tour nationally and internationally; and by supporting the work of independent dance artists through wide-ranging studio programs.
