| Synopsis |
Branch Nebula from Sydney, Australia works across disciplines in performance, dance and design that challenges mainstream cultural conventions. For Freespace Fest 2014, they created ‘s.l.o.a.p.’ (Space Left Over After Planning) in collaboration with local street-style artists: parkourists, trickers, dancers, a trial motorcyclist, and a sound artist. Designed and created in a massive playground of steel shipping containers, concrete blocks, and wooden boxes. ‘s.l.o.a.p.’ is a visual spectacle of urban and street forms that explodes our perceptions of dance, movement and performance in which tightly choreographed, fast paced action places the human body at the outer limits. The performers hunt for challenges in unplanned purposes of the built environment, finding them in the most surprising ways, jumping gaps with cat-like agility, and landing with absolute precision. In the midst of the swirling bodies the audience plays the role of a ‘human obstacle’. Volunteer audiences are positioned in the middle of the action where they are at once spectator and part of the spectacle. |
