Tiny gems: new artists perform 'small movements' quietly and joyfully on a pint-sized stage. Little moments of movement and dance are captured across genres and presented as short form works.
Presented as part of Union House Theatre's festival within a festival 'Guild Fringe (Dance Edit)', Small Movements takes its inspiration from the 1999 resident ‘Guild Dance Company’ performance of the same name.
‘Guild Dance’ were resident at the Guild Theatre in 1990s and provided a platform to foster people's passion for moving. Looking back, we imagine that their version of Small Movements honoured precious burgeoning ideas, celebrated bodies and showcased short form works.
Union House Theatre honours their contribution and brings this history into our future. For just two nights, join the audience for a curated program of short choreographed dance works, re-presented performances, spontaneous acts, raw physical theatre, solos, duets, trios and cultural dance - all by new artists in a format that allows them to play and test out concepts, to perform small ideas (or ... 'small movements') however they please.
Full line up to be announced in September.
This event is part of 'Guild Fringe (Dance Edit)' - a two-week festival celebrating dance and movement in all forms, held in and around the Guild Theatre, Arts and Cultural Building, University of Melbourne Parkville Campus. View the festival program.
