Weather


Lucy Guerin Inc

From one of Australia’s most renowned choreographic talents comes an atmospheric new dance work, a homage to the breathtaking power of the elements.

Celebrated dance artist and choreographer Lucy Guerin explores the extremities of our ever-changing climate in the world premiere of her latest dance production, Weather. An immersive voyage into the elements around us, Weather pits the human form against the uncontrollable power of nature, conjuring the thrill and awe that these forces inspire.
An arresting new work born from a co-production between Lucy Guerin’s Melbourne-based company and Montreal’s Place des Arts, it draws on the inventive design skills of Robert Cousins and the expansive music of Oren Ambarchi to create an intriguing exploration of the choreographic formations and visceral affects of weather.

Mesmerising and intense, Weather is a dynamic expression of the tides, the winds, the sun and the rain – a celebration of the ephemeral forces that shape our lives and the physical body’s connection to the natural world.
