#MoveMeImpFest
STRUT Director’s
welcome to the festival
What’s it all about?
Improvisation: the Wasabi ingredient of any
contemporary dance feast!
What is it about the performance of improvisation
- this once-off, never to be repeated event - that
makes it such a thrill?
Ladies & Gents, it is my pleasure to introduce you
to STRUT Dance’s inaugural MoveMe Improvisation
Festival: where anything can happen.
Is it the exposure of the raw creative impulse?
Or the embrace of irreverence, risk and danger
that draws us in?
Since arriving in this glorious city 18 months ago my
team and I have been busy developing an ambitious
program of opportunities for our local and national
contemporary dancers & choreographers. Now it is
time to celebrate what we have accomplished so far,
and invite you in for a taste of what contemporary
dance in Perth has to offer.
I cannot think of a better way to do that than with this
dynamic performance program of Improvisation in
dance, music & performance. Improvisation holds an
important place in contemporary dance practice – as
the process many choreographers use to spark the
creation of new work.
And for you – the audience… Well, the experience of
watching improvised performance is best explained
by my fellow dance sector champion Felicity Bott
(Director Ausdance WA) who once described it to
me as ‘something akin to snorting wasabi’.
Ha! A whiplash rise of burning delight that brings
tears to the eyes and a fire to the belly!
Improvised Performance: Anything Can Happen
It can be hilarious, it can be provocative, it
can be sublimely beautiful… and for nine days
in November you can see for yourself what
Improvised Performance can be, as STRUT Dance
presents the inaugural MoveMe Improvisation
Festival: where anything can happen.
Jo Pollitt, Paea Leach, Jacob Lehrer & Sam Longley to
international performance greats Rosalind Crisp, Ros
Warby, Andrew Morrish & Michael Schumacher – this
festival will fire-up your world.
So I invite you to throw caution to all winds, bring
nothing but your kill-a-cat curiosity… Open your eyes,
ears (and YES your nostrils) to the first ever MoveMe
Improvisation Festival.
The MoveMe Improvisation Festival is Perth’s
first ever Performance Improvisation Festival,
presenting the work of some of the world’s best
contemporary improvisation artists across dance,
music & performance.
So join us to discover these new works, and
delight in the unexpected!
Parts of the program have been developed through
the Dance Sites Network - a continuing partnership
between STRUT Dance, Dancehouse (Melb) &
Critical Path (Sydney).
As part of this national dance network various
festival artists & works will tour to Sydney,
Melbourne & Brisbane after their MoveMe
Improvisation Festival seasons:

Beast #3
(World premiere)
Jo Pollitt & Paea Leach (AUS)
Beast #3 is the third rendering of an original score
created in 2012 as a ‘side by side song cycle of
movement’. It is driven by a particular physicality
shared by Pollitt and Leach emboldened by a
perpetual duet of long distance correspondence.
The original Quiet Beast was a duet created and
performed in collaboration with writer Marcella
Polain and musician Mace Francis, presented at
Venn Gallery in Perth 2012. The 2nd incarnation
Amplified Beast was performed by 30 WAAPA
undergraduates and guests in 2013.
‘They pick up and put down
their feet for years and years
and years.’
Marcella Polain (Quiet Beast 2012).
This 3rd version Beast #3 both develops and
responds to the original score in an intimate
continuum offset by the poetic banality of real life,
song cycles, and the physicality of words rendered
by dancers as writers. Deeply informed by the
rigorous exchange between the dancers and the
dance, the work is a paradox of simultaneously
building and collapsing structures to reveal
attention, mark interruption and amplify potential.

Rosalind Crisp (AUS / FRANCE)
“It’s magical.... No one will tell us (the artists) what to do, (the
audience) what it means, (anyone) what it is. Well, it’s dance, dance
theatre even, like never before.”
Keith Gallasch, RealTime
No-one will tell us... thrusts four performing artists
into an immediate encounter. These are long-term
collaborators, fully engaged in their individual
artistic practices: dance artist Rosalind Crisp,
rock musician Hansueli Tischhauser, performance
improvisor Andrew Morrish and lighting designer
Marco Wehrspann. What happens when their
practices collide? What is ripped apart? What
remains? How do they co-exist?

Exposing our real-time choreographic
performance practice.
In Physics, ‘Entanglement’ is a quantum
mechanical phenomenon in which the states
of two or more objects have to be described
with reference to each other, even though the
individual objects may be spatially separated.
Performers
Jacob Lehrer
and David Corbet
Background: David Corbet and Jacob Lehrer are
long time dance collaborators/researchers
and have been creating dance together since
1997 both nationally and internationally. They are
joined by Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey
who are long time music/sound experimenters
and collaborators and in 2012 won the
national APRA-AMC Award for Excellence
in Experimental Music. These two teams first
worked together in 2006.
Season
Thurs 27 – 29 Nov
Three times a night, two nights in a row.
ICP is a performance model developed to
encourage audiences to cultivate a deeper
understanding of the presentation of artists’
work, by offering short performance ‘grabs’.
David, Jacob, Madeleine and Tim will perform 3
short performances (of 20-30 mins each) per
night. A single ticket allows entry to one, two or
all 3 slots.
See them once - you get an impression. See
them twice - you have a comparison. The third
time gives you perspective.
Stay for the whole evening, or pick and choose
across the shows…

“Mellifluousness like honey takes
over. The question of who is one
or the other loses grip and for me,
the real performance begins: like

they and I become both without

Happy Little
Accidents
(Australian premiere)
A performed dance lecture
by Rosalind Crisp (AUS)
(World premiere)
Sam Longley, Damon Lockwood
and Sean Walsh (AUS)
a partial lecture about a partial history
an unfinished d a n s e by a saturated body
an ongoing practice… exposed.
If nothing ever goes as planned then surely it is
better to not have a plan in the first place.
What holds up when the wrapping is gone? Is
there a leg to stand on once the spectacle is
bumped out? What was there anyway, before it
got stitched up?
In a performed-danced-discussion Rosalind
Crisp dances and talks about what she is doing,
exposing aspects of her continually evolving
project, d a n s e, and how her practice is
sustained and transformed over time.
d a n s e is a modality of work that Rosalind Crisp
has been developing between Australia and France
since 2005. It is about a way of working with the
body and an ensemble of unstable principles
which guide the production of movement. These
principles are continually transforming, constituting
a language that is both rigorously identifiable and
constantly mutating.
Accidents are the things you don’t plan to happen,
the moments when the universe pulls the rug out
from under you and expects you to fall. But when
the fall turns into a stumble and the stumble into
a step and the step turns into a wander down an
unexpected and exciting path, then that is a happy
little accident.
Embracing the unknown, the endless possibilities
and the empty stage, Happy Little Accidents is a
show about saying yes to what life throws at you
whether it be love, lemons or llamas.
Using the long form improvisation techniques
of Viola Spolin, Del Close and Keith Johnstone,
Happy Little Accidents sees three actors collide
with verbal dexterity, theatrical spontaneity and
unfettered joy to create an original one hour
theatre performance unlike anything you’ve
ever seen.

Dans le Jardin is a site-specific duet piece
for outdoor space performed by Michael
Schumacher (dance) and Alex Waterman (cello).
For this special Perth season, Waterman will
compose a new score for cello and electronics
for Schumacher to perform in the State Theatre
Centre’s Courtyard. As always the work will unfold
in real time in an improvised manner, drawing on
the feedback and flow of the audience itself.
Originally conceived for the Lyon Biennale, Dans
le Jardin was performed in the courtyard of the
Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon. At that location,
Alex and Michael worked with the geometry
of the formal garden, the flow of the public,
the statuaries, and the acoustics of the arches
around the garden, as well as the open air of the
courtyard setting.
Background: Michael Schumacher and Alex
Waterman met in Amsterdam in 1999 and their
first collaborations were with Magpie Music and
Dance Company. They both grew up in Idaho and
felt a connection through having journeyed from
there and meeting one another in Amsterdam.
They also share a common love of practicing
improvisation infused with compositional ideas
and structures.

Ros Warby presents a double bill of her new solo
work Court Dance (2014), plus her adaptation of
US choreographer Deborah Hay’s solo work
No Time to Fly (2010).
More details
moveme.org.au
No Time to Fly
Court Dance
Choreography: Deborah Hay (USA)
Adaptation and Performance: Ros Warby (AUS)
(World premiere)
Choreography and Performance:
Ros Warby (AUS)
“No Time to Fly is choreographed to provide clear
and comprehensive instances of non-linear reality
for the performer and audience alike. The dancer
is practicing a continuity of discontinuity within
her unique experience of the choreography – thus
engaging the depth of her dancing. The dancer’s
choice to perform much of the choreographed
material that determines No Time To Fly requires
catastrophic acts of perception as she dis-attaches
from a multitude of former behavior.” (Deborah Hay)
Warby began working with Deborah Hay in 1998.
Her instant alignment with Hay’s performance
practice was clear from the beginning and it has
continued to inform and expand Warby’s ongoing
solo practice with rigor and question, constantly
stripping away any attachment to what is known or
expected within the realms of what dance can be.
Court Dance is Warby’s new solo currently
in development. Underlying this work is a
consideration of our relationship to hierarchy and
its impact on our systems through its constant
presence, however subtle. Within the work Warby
attempts to eliminate hierarchy within individual
movement and performance vocabularies in order
to expand these vocabularies to include what has
not yet been imagined.
The development of this solo has been supported
by UCLA World Arts and Cultures / Dance.
Ros Warby is also presenting a series of
workshops during the festival (for details see
Workshops page).
Background: Ros Warby is one of Australia’s
leading dancer/choreographers. She has been
creating and performing solo dance since 1990
and her award winning work has been presented in
Australia, Europe and the USA.

Later Peter and Andrew set up a practice together
investigating how abstract choreographic ideas
could translate to the realm of language, how
language could be viewed as dance and dance as
language, or not. Out of this practice came such
iconic works as The Charlatan’s Web, Avalanche,
Grist For The Mill and Of Bliss and Blunder.

Plan your own improvisation experience here.
If you were lucky, you would have watched them
strutting their improv stuff in their own shows across
the festival.
Now watch them battle their wits to help you
understand what the hell it was all about!
Four festival favourites - Andrew Morrish, Jo Pollitt,
Michael Schumacher and Ros Warby sit down to
debate the question:
What makes a great improvisation, and what
makes improvisation great?
Sam Longley chairs proceedings, doing his best to
keep things on track (but as always, with improv anything could happen!).
This event will be live streamed across the world.
