5 choreographers, 5 new short dance works, 5 days of performances: Pieces for Small Spaces 2009.
Lucy Guerin Inc’s annual Pieces for Small Spaces program is a unique opportunity for five choreographers to challenge their practice, take risks and present a new short dance work as part of a professional performance season. The program aims to support the work of young choreographers and those working outside of company structures.
Each of the five artists selected for the 2009 program was encouraged to develop their individual dance practice, devising a distinct and meaningful voice within their choreographic works.
The works they created were performed during the five-night season which took place between 2-5 December 2009 at Lucy Guerin Inc Studios in West Melbourne.
