MOUNTAIN
MOUNTAIN sees three performers move through gradual processes of change, in a choreography of impermanence, transformation and existential threat. Exploring spacial and temporal liminality through dance, sound, light and visual design MOUNTAIN is a future ritual in reverence for what no longer exists.
Working closely with collaborators James Brown (Sound), Clare Britton (Design) and Matt Marshall (Lighting) to create an environment for the dance to exist within, Chan and her team work with ideas of invisible landscapes and unseen forces, creating palpable work that is strong in imagery and delicate in sensitivity.
Commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre MOUNTAIN premiered in April 2018.
“With A Faint Existence in 2016 and now Mountain, Kristina Chan has stamped herself as an exceptionally thoughtful choreographer. ”
“This is a work filled with imagery that lodges in your subconscious, triggering visual and experiential associations ”
“Chan was steadfast in the execution of her vision”
