solid.states - Arco Renz

In solid.states, Belgium-based German maverick Arco Renz places two accomplished dancers on an unstable moving platform. Performed by Javanese court dancer Eko Supriyanto and Melbourne choreographer Melanie Lane, solid.states borrows elements of their shared Javanese ancestry to trace the interplay between global and traditional forces. Through juxtaposition, both performers share their divergent experiences around the intrusion of Western pop culture into Javanese life. solid.states explores how change ultimately and intimately de-stabilises.

Post show Q&A with Arco Renz, Melanie Lane and Eko Supriyanto in conversation with David Pledger on Saturday, November 21st.
