Shelley Lasica

How How Choreography Works

How Choreography Works took place over six weeks at West Space, Melbourne. It included current and archival performance, both live and onscreen, existing between bodies and objects. Long time collaborators, Jo Lloyd and Deanne Butterworth selected archival video of Shelley Lasica’s performance works and worked with Shelley Lasica to make a live work that lies between them. Choreography takes on multiple forms and becomes many different things. It is porous and mutable, but resides so intrinsically in how we think socially. How Choreography Works speaks to ephemeral physicality; an experience that occupies a particular place at a particular time.

Exhibition and ensemble performance, 1 hour.

West Space, Melbourne, 9 October, 24 October, 6–7 November, 2015.

How Choreography Works was also presented as part of the Choreography and the Gallery salon at Art Gallery of NSW, part of the 20th Biennale of Sydney in 2016.
