COLLOQUY by Shelley Lasica

COLLOQUY is a new suite of performances choreographed by Shelley Lasica that embrace Rose Nolan’s interdisciplinary approach to exhibition-making.

At the invitation of Rose Nolan, and taking place alongside Nolan’s exhibition Breathing Helps, Lasica has created a series of performances and a map that are based on types of dialogue or colloquy. The performance and the map offer choreographic thinking as a process to navigate between the performers, the audience and the exhibition. Rather than activate or respond to the exhibition, COLLOQUY telescopes in and out between the gallery spaces and outside.

Featuring three performers, Indiana Coole, Shelley Lasica and Thomas Woodman, the work takes place three times across the duration of Breathing Helps. COLLOQUY will be performed amongst the installation of the exhibition, inside the new Eva and Marc Besen Centre and throughout the Museum’s grounds.

The map, with a text by Lisa Radford, offers a set of propositions or spatial possibilities to imagine a performance whether present or not.
