“TWINSHIPS”
Deanne Butterworth, Michael Munson and Rose Connors Dance
19 Oct → 10 Nov 2012
With TWINSHIPS, Deanne Butterworth and Michael Munson present a re-treatment of a solo dance performance work dealing with the exploration of different worlds.
Through the composition and re-arrangement of three integral theatrical elements of movement, sound and light, TWINSHIPS can exist in the space as both installation and live performance. An attempt to create two simultaneous worlds – the sonic and the physical – in order to challenge the way we observe and perceive people.
A jewel-like reflective centerpiece that projects images of botanical and architectural landscapes is both set and metaphor. As Butterworth dances her solo, she manipulates the mirrored psyche of the TWINSHIPS’ worlds to expose notions of perception, truth and misrepresentation.
This project was produced and presented by Dancehouse as a part of their Housemate Residency Program.
Deanne Butterworth is a choreographer and dancer with a career spanning over 20 years. She performs in the work of dance and visual artists and has her own choreographic practice focusing on collaborating with others.
Michael Munson's work embraces a wide variety of contemporary practices and modes of performances within contemporary music, while maintaining a commitment to the heritage of the avant-garde and a keen awareness of current trends in the vastness of the techno/acoustic ambient genres.
