ReadyMade Works is excited to announce Tangling: A two day Choreographic Workshop with Ivey Wawn

11am - 4pm, Saturday May 10 and Sunday May 11th $100 EarlyBird/ $125 Regular

Workshop Description: We will have an industrious couple of days - moving quickly from ideas, into extrapolation, into metaphors, into similes, into systems, into dancing. Or maybe it will be backward? Or even upside down? Using confusion as a choreographic device, duplicity and going off at a tangent will be the motors to generate material. We will wind ourselves up into conceptual knots, and unravel them again through choreographed conversations and dancing. And at the end of each day, we will do some wholesome, re-centring exercises. So as to send ourselves back into the world gently put back together again.

Ivey Wawn (1990) is a dancer living and working with choreography for a range of contexts in Eora (Sydney). Her experience primarily lies in live performance for theatres and galleries, but she has also made video and writing in other instances. She works with embodied imagination and systemic choreographies. She is committed to dance for its pro-sociality and its resistance to the commodity form. Her work and the work she has contributed to as a choreographer has been presented and supported by institutions such as; Artshouse (VIC), Art Gallery of NSW (NSW), Carriageworks (NSW), Cementa (NSW), Museum of Contemporary Art (NSW), National Gallery of Australia (ACT), Next Wave Festival (VIC), Performance Space (NSW), RMIT Design Hub (VIC), Tate Galleries (UK), and UTS Galleries (NSW) among others. She has strong collaborative relationships with artists based in NSW, as well as working friendships with artists throughout Australia and abroad. She has spent time working extensively as a performer, but in recent years splits her labour time between work as an artist and as a hospitality worker in her restaurant Fontana, which she owns and operates with friends in Redfern.
