Concept
For the work ‘Leaning into the Liminal’ choreographer & Dancer Kristina Chan & Lottie Consalvo interweave their respective practices & experiences in choreography, performance & visual art.
Leaning into the Liminial contemplates ideas surrounding perception & consciousness in relation to time, reality & the imaginary. Employing elements of force, gravity & mass. Kristina moves across a large scale painted surface, perhaps suggestive of a place within the self or somewhere else beyond the real. There are moments of tension & weightlessness as she navigate the boundaries & thresholds of the space.
A series of bells ring, evoking a disorientation, whilst attempting to anchor presence. As the vibrations drift to nothingness, time is stretched before another bell sound carves through the space
