Hiatus

2012, Live duet performance Hiatus was a live performance work propelled by recent and ongoing natural disasters. Assertions that we are now experiencing “the beginnings of a new kind of future in which mega-disasters are going to be more frequent” formed both subject and inspiration for this performance – a guided bus tour to the edge of the earth. This was indeed a bus tour with a difference. Its destination was purposely imprecise. Hiatus, Fiona Bryant, Lucy Farmer, Next Wave Festival 2012.

Reviews

"Fiona Bryant is undoubtedly one of Melbourne's most interesting young choreographers. When she and collaborator Lucy Farmer approached the Festival with a simple yet incredibly difficult premise - to be inspired by disaster - I had instant butterflies. The merciless forces of nature have seemed at their most ungenerous in recent years; pummeling us with messages about the urgency of changing our behaviour. Or else. That Fiona and Lucy have been brave enough to tackle these magnitudinous ideas is impressive; that they're willing to rigorously examine them in the context of performance is something else…” Emily Sexton, Next Wave’s former Artistic Director http://2012.nextwave.org.au/event/hiatus/ http://www.artabase.net/exhibition/3631-hiatus
