Inertia
Emerging Choreographers Program
1/1
Held over three days at Dancehouse, Inertia presents 17 works-in-progress by 19 talented, emerging dance artists.
From contemporary choreographers to contact improvisors, street stylists to classical Indian dancers, these young people with diverse backgrounds introduce their fledgling practices. Featuring performances, research sharings and film installations, Inertia shares works-in-progress ranging from the conventional to the unconventional, the familiar to the less familiar.
Over the past two weeks since Victoria reopened, these artists have collaborated, experimented and investigated new ideas to develop their own fresh processes and projects.
Inertia invites audiences to experience short works across forms from some of Victoria’s most exciting emerging choreographers.
Presented in four distinct mixed bills and one stand-alone installation, Inertia sees these artists moving against the resistance of the past two years and innovating their practice in a new context.
