NOW PIECES: 4 x Duets

Now Pieces continues a long standing disciplined exploration of improvised performance practice that leads to exciting, crafted, spontaneous and artful communication generated on-the-go.
This program invites a range of practitioners who — in various ways — prioritise movement to incorporate body, sound, vocalisation, memory, image and energy, responding to each passing moment in relation to the space where they are dancing and to the audience.

The priorities of Now Pieces are to expand improvisation into an increasingly interdisciplinary, intercultural, intergenerational context whilst still firmly positioning improvisation at the heart of the event.

Now Pieces invites curators as well as performers, to explore improvisation as a relevant, urgent, poetic transdisciplinary practice and to continue to generate new conceptual and performative possibilities.
