An evening of short experimental works by new performance makers
Thu 19 - Sat 21 August @ 8pm

freshly squeezed is an evening of short works by new performance makers probing and dissecting the notion of the backyard shed. Jammed with dance and movement, new media, puppetry, beat poetry and theatre, freshly squeezed is a delightfully diverse night of performance.
In 2009 stagejuice created the acclaimed multimedia performance work, in the shadows (PACT Theatre), “an ambitious, bold and complex work by a group of clearly dedicated and strong performers” (Augusta Supple, www.augustasupple.com, April 2009).
2010 sees the launch of freshly squeezed - a stagejuice initiative that provides Sydney’s most exciting emerging artists with the opportunity to form new collaborations and undertake bold and innovative exploration. These works have been created over a month of workshopping, investigating and collaborating as an ensemble.

Newcomers must confirm: Bodyweather 0410 080 598
* BODYWEATHER is a broadbased, comprehensive physical training which cultivates a conscious relation to the state of constant change inside and outside the body. Founded by Japanese butoh dancer Min Tanaka and his Mai-Juku Performance Company, it is an open investigation that can be relevant for anyone interested in exploring the body. Most of the sessions will draw from three main areas of the practice which vary between high-energy work and quiet, meditative explorations:-
MB (Muscles-Bones, Mind-Body): dynamic, rhythmic work-out for strength, flexibility & grounding.
Manipulations: a series of precise forms concerned with stretching and alignment.
Ground Work: a wide variety of exercises to develop sensorial focus, sensitivity and scope of expression.
TESS DE QUINCEY is a performer, choreographer and teacher who has worked extensively in Europe, Japan and Australia. Trained in dance, graphics and sculpture in London & Copenhagen, she was formerly a dancer with Min Tanaka and his Mai-Juku Performance Co, Japan 1985-91. Her performance work is based in the Bodyweather philosophy and approach - www.bodyweather.net - founded by Min and Mai-Juku which is the strongest influence on her performance work. Tess introducted the Bodyweather practice to Australia in 1989 and in 2000 formed De Quincey Co, Australia's leading Bodyweather company, which presents a range of dance-performance works and interactive environments in metropolitan and outback areas – www.DeQuinceyCo.net
