We're learning all the moves in the Play Haus this week as Australasian Dance Collective's Guest Artist, Melanie Lane, joins us to talk all about her career as a choreographer and dancer. We learn about her new work, Alterum, which heads to QPAC next week as part of the dance spectacular and triple bill, 'Three'. Inspired by the supernatural and mythologies, Melanie explains her creative process behind the work, the world of dance as she knows it, and even dabbles in chats about the future of our artistic creative community.
Scene 20 unravels Australasian Dance Collective's new work 'Three' and Melanie's choreographic masterpiece, 'Alterum'. We dive deep into working with the company and adapting the work during a COVID time. Melanie shares her love of dancers expressing their voice in the language of the work and tells us about the supernatural inspiration behind her latest piece. We fouette into the world of dance, spinning back to Melanie's early childhood and her passion for choreographing. We also hear about the projects she's worked on internationally and digitally during COVID-19 and her thoughts on looking into the future to find better systems to support artists.
