About the work

Against the backdrop of a devastating event, four dancers walk the line between individual and shared experience. Flux Job is the new work by Lucy Guerin Inc, using both choreography and the scripted word to explore how different modes of communication convey meaning.

Concept

Four dancers navigate the terrain between individual and shared experience against the backdrop of a devastating event. They investigate the spaces and boundaries that unite and divide, engaging with the danger of proximity and the loneliness of separation in a heightened world.

Creative collaboration

Guerin has collaborated with celebrated theatre-maker Adena Jacobs to create a work that shifts between the layered, fluctuating language of movement and the more everyday realm of words with finite meanings. Underneath it all lies the question: who are we when we're on our own, and who are we with others?

Premiere

Premiered at Arts House, Melbourne, March 2022.
