Other Projects by Liminal Studio
Dust
Australia
The contemporary dance production, Dust, is shaped by a design that allows space to be defined and unravelled through the dancers’ interaction of a manipulatable installation. The deceivingly, minimal design plays a critical role in enriching and amplifying the narrative of the performance.
Liminal collaborated with leading Australian contemporary dance company, Dancenorth, for this innovative work, which reviews claim is unleashing something new and profound for contemporary dance. It is touring throughout Australia and will continue to tour internationally. As the conceptual and production designers, Liminal worked with the artistic directors and dancers to conceptualise the themes for the dance work, workshopping these ideas that then informed the choreography and design of the production. The transformative design allows the dancers to manipulate and shift the spatial onstage environment.
The main spatial device is the ‘wall’ in the form of a wedge with a diminishing perspective. It is an adjustable installation that at first, appears as a monolithic barrier, but its modularity and fragmentation concealed within a seamless sleeve is revealed as layers are peeled, leading to transformation. The dancers interact with the wall to create changing stage configurations that add layered meaning to the performance, deconstructing and reconstructing different scenes as the themes of the performance shift. Integrated into the choreography, the dancers reveal and pull open the modular pieces comprising the wall and use them to assemble a different environment creating new foundations. The design reflects the structures, barriers and borders that we all experience in life, expressing the “architecture of restriction and opportunity”.
Providing a considered device with such varying adaptability inspires creative interaction from the artists. The collaboration shows what is possible when creative practitioners across different disciplines come together to conceptually dream and deliver something out of the ordinary.
