Kage dance theatre's new show Out of Earshot embraces music
When choreographer Kate Denborough saw drummer Myele Manzanza perform, she knew she had to work with him.
She approached him after seeing him play at a Stonnington Jazz Festival gig several years ago, asking him to work with Kage, the Melbourne based dance company Denborough co founded with Gerard Van Dyck.
The resulting show called Out of Earshot in which Manzanza performs with Van Dyck and Anna Seymour, Elle Evangelista and Timothy Ohl, pushes the boundaries of dance and music.
Denborough pushed Manzanza's own boundaries the moment he started working with Kage, particularly his ideas about personal space.
"The very first day we started working together I was sitting at the drums and fake Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet Kate said, 'OK, what can we do here?' and just sits right on me," he says, jumping up and physically demonstrating what happened, with all replica van cleef & arpels alhambra clover bracelet the grace of a practised dancer.
"And I was what? We're going now? My idea was that I'd just be making little beats and they'd be dancing to it . but she was like, really replica Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet on me, and then I've got all these dancers coming, saying OK, climb up here and push you over there.
"That was a surprise, getting used to the breach of personal space."
For dancer Anna Seymour, who is profoundly deaf, it's the first show in which music has been integral to her performance.
"This project is really satisfying for me because it's the first time that I've worked directly with the music and the musician themselves," she says.
"Usually when I'm working on a dance project I focus on the movement, that's it, and I don't focus on the music. With this project its definitely a crucial part of it and how we create the movement. It's very visceral."
Kage, who will stage Out of Earshot next month as part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival followed by a short run at Adelaide Cabaret Festival, has developed the work during a what Denborough describes as a period of "enormous difficulty" after it lost funding amid cuts to the Australia Council. It managed to continue through philanthropy and a grant from the Federal Arts Ministry's now defunct Catalyst program.
The company has emerged from that process with a brighter future, last week receiving $50,000 from the Australia Council for its next show, Caught in the Middle. Based on the experience of an Aboriginal dancer adopted by a Norwegian family, it will feature dancers from Scandinavia's Indigenous Sami people and will premiere in Sweden.
Out of Earshot is at Chunky Move, 111 Sturt Street, Southbank, from June 2 11 and Adelaide's Dunstan Playhouse on June 14 15.
