Caitlin Mewett is an emerging dance artist who relocated to Naarm/ Melbourne from Wollongong (NSW). Excited by the peculiar, her practice utilises movement to challenge comfort and physical boundaries. She aims to amalgamate precision, intricacy, distortion, strength and mundane activity to produce foreign dialogues and the uncanny.
2022 saw Caitlin work with choreographers Lucy Guerin, Antony Hamilton and Jo Lloyd. Caitlin performed with Lucy Guerin Inc in ‘PENDULUM’ for Melbourne Fringe Festival 2022. She performed with Company TasDance in ‘Collision’ choreographed by Jo Lloyd for Launceston’s 2022 Junction Arts Festival. She understudied for Chunky Move’s season ‘Rewards For the Tribe’ choreographed by Antony Hamilton, for the 2022 Melbourne Rising Festival.
Caitlin also performed an excerpt of ‘Here We Have It’ by Amrita Hepi at Next Wave and was a 2022 artist of the Emerging Choreographers Program by Dance House.
In 2021 Caitlin graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) with a Bachelor of Dance. She was the recipient of the Agnes Robertson Dance Entry Scholarship and the Lionel Gell Foundation Scholarship. In 2021 she performed Naree Vachananda’s ‘Lucent’ in the National Gallery of Victoria Triennial Festival. Upon graduation she received an internship with company Chunky Move.
