Chunky Move lights up Pittsburgh with GLOW
November 12th, 2007 Posted in Dance, Cultural District
The Melbourne-based dance company, Chunky Move, comes to Pittsburgh, courtesy of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, for the concluding performances of the five-week Australia Festival.
On Thursday and Friday, November 15-16, Chunky Move will present the U.S. premiere of GLOW. Defined as an “illuminating choreographic essay” created by artistic director Gideon Obarzanek and interactive softward creator Frieder Weiss, GLOW comprises a sophisticated video tracking system that maps a digital landscape created in real time by a dancer’s movement. A 90-second video clip of the piece can be viewed on the website.
On Friday, Chunky Move will present “I Want to Dance Better at Parties,” a piece that begins as a live documentary about five indivdual men’s relationship to dance. The festival concludes with a post-show after party at the home of Peter Karlovich and Steven Herforth.
