Trespass Mag: Chunky Move- Mortal Engine
March 13, 2010 · Posted by Dance, music and life: graceegirl ·
Choreographer Gideon Obarzanek describes Mortal Engine as a dance-video-music-laser performance. The hyphens are fully justified. An awe-inspiring hybrid work that explores the relationship between movement and technology, Mortal Engine takes live interaction to a new level.Obarzanek’s fixation on the idea of contrast is boldly visual from the outset. The performance begins in darkness, with a host of laser images flashing across the raised stage. A single dancer emerges, bathed in white light. As she moves, she leaves a white glow around her, a beacon in the dark.Only when this image is reversed do we see the sinister ‘other’ side of ...
An Education
February 24, 2010 · Posted by Dance, music and life: graceegirl ·
Education is the key to success. It’s true; if you don’t believe me, ask my mum. Since before I could tell the time, this adage was drummed into me by family and friends. Study hard, they told me; then you’ll be able to get yourself a respectable, useful degree, land your dream job and live happily ever after.So I studied, got the grades and began my ‘useful’ double-degree combo of Media and Communications and Law. I even signed on for a Diploma of Modern Languages in Japanese, just because I could. Six months later, having seen the proverbial light, I ...

Published: Cover story: The Body of Ballet
December 14, 2009 · Posted by Dance, music and life: graceegirl ·
It frightens me that I can walk into a competitive ballet studio, take a two-second glance at the aspiring young dancers in front of me and predict, with alarming accuracy, who will achieve their dreams and who will not. I may not know them or have seen them dance a single step, but their destiny is writ large in their DNA – in the length of their thighs, the shape of their feet and even the size of their breasts. It’s not right, but it is the reality.Every year, thousands of would-be ballet dancers are turned away from elite schools ...
