10-14 May - Sydney Theatre at Walsh Bay
In their sell-out, international sensations Glow and Mortal Engine, Chunky Move transcended the limits of earthly form by immersing dancers in an illusory world of motion tracking and projection technology. In their newest work, Connected, this dynamic is flipped on its back and digital technology is side-stepped in favour of pure mechanics. Teaming up with Californian artist, Reuben Margolin, Chunky Move’s Gideon Obarzanek animates both the body and the machine through physical connection between the dancers and Margolin’s purpose-built, kinetic sculpture.  Beginning with simple movements and hundreds of tiny pieces, the dancers build their performance while they construct the sculpture in real time.
