What I Think About When I Think About Dancing

What I Think About When I Think About Dancing is a contemporary interdisciplinary project running from 16 November 2009 – 3 January 2010 at Campbelltown Arts Centre that investigates the shifting boundaries and cross over of dance and visual art practices. For the project Campbelltown Arts Centre has brought together 23 dance and visual artists from across Australia and internationally to engage in residencies, performances, an exhibition and publication.

“Typically many cross-genre explorations overlay visual arts practice on dance performance, but this project is the other way around – dance on visual arts. Our direction for this exhibition is to elicit responses from artists, to question the meeting place of dance and visual arts across cultures, communities and by individuals.”
Lisa Havilah, Director of Campbelltown Arts Centre

With an extensive residency program and multiple new work commissions, What I Think About When I Think About Dancing has a sharp focus on supporting the development of new work and presenting artists’ process to the public. As part of the residency program, eleven artists, will be creating new works on-site at Campbelltown Arts Centre from 16 to 27 November. These works will be premiered at the project’s launch and forum in the form of performances, showings and installations.
