Araluen Arts Centre: GUTS Dance x Ashleigh Musk Presents - SUB | 7PM
GUTS Dance x Ashleigh Musk Presents - SUB | 7PM
Traversing fractured earth.
Escaping a surface world littered with crises, we burrow into soil and stone to seek shelter within layers of debris, tunnelling and surrendering to its contradictions.
Deepening towards the tectonic pulse of the earth, time shifts and defies what we know about living in relationship with the underground. Digging closer to the polyrhythms of the core, SUB is a a contemporary dance performance that entangles natural symphonies with industrialised extraction processes, cracking through our resistance to hope.
A soft defiance is portrayed through the endurance of SUB’s inhabitants as they come into confluence with precious materials below the surface.
In this place that both attracts and scares us - this wet, restless and difficult place - we engage with the terror and volatility of the living natural world.
SUB was created through residences in regional spaces around the country, and is deeply affected by the landscapes of its creation. From the Yeperenye of Mparntwe to the wet caves of the West Coast of lutruwita, to the oceans of the Kombumerri and Yugambeh language regions - SUB somehow envelopes all these contradicting landscapes into its own sensorial universe.
Q&R after the performance
