Movement is a daily occurrence; from our pulse to the environment and even in our minds. Flux presents the interaction between past, present and future by interrogating space, memory and time.

Conceived by composer, sound and video artist Nigel Tan, this collaborative work features the improvisational choreography of Australian contemporary dancer Francesca Meale pieced together to Tan’s seven-part composition. Weaving together texture and abstract form, Flux is a dynamic mixture of disconcerted, chance-based elements within a convoluted minimalist structure. Depicted visually through dance and audibly through sound, movement is of ages and reacts personally, individually to our physical and inner being. This reaction is familiarized and intertwined by location, experience and people.

Flux is not just the flow of movement or random events but a representation of the choreography within our daily lives and encompasses all which are forgotten and remembered; that seeks to question our ideals and propose a new way of living. Change is not an archetype, it is the conscious desire for discomfort.
