PHANTASM – a Chunky Move commission by choreographer Melanie Lane.
PHANTASM explores the terrain of the supernatural. Ghosts, jinns and heroines emerge from the underworld, drawing from stories of feminine spirits and fictions.
Unpacking the roots of these stories and re-visiting them as bodies of resistance and knowledge, PHANTASM creates a world where there is slippage between the seen and the unseen, and where the spirit realm permeates through a dance that transforms and transcends.
PHANTASM is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, the City of Melbourne, and Project 11.
This project is delivered through Corps Conspirators. This initiative, supported by Creative Victoria and led by Melanie Lane, is a project exploring collaborative choreographic practices, multi-artform experimentation and transcultural experience.
