“Confident and compelling, it's another fascinating work from one of Melbourne’s leading choreographers.” – Artshub
A demanding dance work for two female performers negotiating ever-diminishing dimensions of time and space, Split revels in Lucy Guerin's sharp, elegant choreographic investigations. Set to a driving score by U.K. composer Scanner, this thought-provoking structural meditation rendered in movement is delivered by one of Australia’s most expressive dance companies.

Lucy Guerin
Born in Adelaide, Australia, Lucy Guerin graduated from the Centre for Performing Arts in 1982 before joining the companies of Russell Dumas (Dance Exchange) and Nanette Hassall (Danceworks). She moved to New York in 1989 for seven years where she danced with Tere O’Connor Dance, the Bebe Miller Company and Sara Rudner, and began to produce her first choreographic works.

Scanner
Since 1991, Scanner, the British artist Robin Rimbaud, has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, installations and recordings, connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres.
