Submerge
Emerging Choreographers Program
1/1
Held over one weekend at Dancehouse, Submerge presents 11 works from 14 cutting-edge, emerging dance artists.
Made up of performances, research sharings, workshops, and installations, these artists with diverse practices stand on the precipice of “what comes next”. Their distinct works range from the conventional to the unconventional: from looping choreographies, to the physical re-birthing from a pile of compost.
Submerge sees these artists reawakening their practice in a new context. Connected by the artists’ experience of “newness” as they continue to create in this precarious and distanced world, the program of performances presents pieces in varying stages of completeness. It connects the artists and entangles their practices. Within this context, no singular project exists in isolation, but rather alongside one another, as part of a relational whole.
Submerge invites audiences to go under(/sub), to immerse(/merge) themselves as these dance artists re-emerge within the “now”.
