Make Your Own World

As one of the nation’s most respected and revered contemporary dance makers, any new work by Lucy Guerin is cause for celebration. This latest piece is an exploration of the flux and tension between community and individuality. It features two distinct methods of movement, one rigorously choreographed, the other entirely improvised. Punctuated by sudden eruptions of spontaneous dance, these disruptions introduce a thrilling element of the unpredictable to the piece, meaning no two performances are alike. There is also a political subtext in play, questioning existing power structures and how asserting agency as an individual can challenge the status quo.
