From Here, Together explores ideas of space and progress, past and present, and the palpable tensions between. This work will be the sequel to Emma’s 2021 Perth Festival commission, Slow Burn, Together.
Working with an ensemble of performers and core collaborators, Emma’s works fluctuate between contemporary dance & moving tableau, achieved through spacious extended scenes that stretch images into events. Where Slow Burn, Together attempted to arrest time while poking holes in the logics and aesthetics of the past, From Here, Together criss-crosses traces of what has come before with a mindful meditation on where do we go from here (together)?
