A physical journey through psychological spaces

First presented as a live work, Body and Environment won an Australian Dance Award for outstanding achievement in Youth Dance. After being unable to undertake a planned tour due to covid, it was redeveloped as a full length film.

Set within a unique transforming set installation, Body and Environment features the FLING Company, made up of 13 young performers from the Bega Valley. A suspended web of 64 interconnected shirts is manipulated by the performers to create a series of spaces; from architectural structures to natural environments, public and private spaces, to the subconscious internal landscapes of the mind.

Body and Environment is a meditation on how the spaces we move through consciously and unconsciously affect our everyday lives and shape our imaginative worlds.

Original live work presented at the Bega Valley Commemorative Civic Centre, May 2018

Film Version screened at Parramatta Riverside in November 2022, and at the Bega Valley Commemmorative Civic Centre, December 2022
