Slip
Rebecca Jensen
Action! The present is about to give way to an anticipated future. A picture is beginning to emerge, as difficult to predict as it is terrifying to ponder. Everywhere there is noise. Temporalities intersect and form a stalemate. Obsolete objects fall out of time and pairings pull further apart. Delay and distance entangle between here and the horizon. We look down on it all from above, forgetting which memories we have experienced with our body in time and space, and what we have seen on the screen.

Rebecca Jensen grew up in Aotearoa and moved to Naarm to study dance at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2007. She creates performance for gallery spaces, theatres and site-specific contexts alongside teaching dance and performing for others, notably dancing with choreographer Jo Lloyd since 2010. In 2012 she formed the ongoing participatory project Deep Soulful Sweats with collaborator Sarah Aiken, creating immersive theatre works and inclusive dance events. Jensen was a 2015 DanceWEB scholar at Impulstanz Vienna and has spent time working in Aotearoa, Korea, Indonesia, Germany and Italy. She is continually inspired by the equally speculative and practical forces of dance practice.
