Things meeting now was created for performance at Michaelis Theatre Roehampton University, London in 2015. It was re-developed for a different space and set of objects in 2017 for 'Versus Rodin' at the Art Gallery of South Australia. This footage is from the 2017 presentation.
‘Things Meeting Now’ is a collaborative project between siblings Alison and Bridget Currie, combining sculptural objects and movement derived from interactions between dancer and object. This work is a meeting of inanimate and animate, object and subject, alien and familiar, dance and sculpture.
