6 / 7 Empty
6/7 Empty is a new solo dance work that draws inspiration from universal Pleiades star constellation mythology, and focuses on a lost seventh sister engulfed by elemental forces of an early morning storm.
Since forgetting her six sisters she is shrouded in darkness and their starlight remains hauntingly absent. As she encounters seeing being seen in the immediacy of the world she inhabits, the lost sister embodies the experience of any isolated individual searching for community and a sense of belonging.

Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal has a unique choreographic language that is influenced by her international studies, training and performance experience in traditional Indonesian dance, Japanese martial arts, Indigenous Australian dance, West African dance, classical ballet and modern dance. Her creative and conceptual stimulation for 6/7 Empty transpired during solo dance improvisation research in the majestic and unique terrain in Bundjalung National Park, Northern NSW Australia. This 40 minute dance work was conceived and performed as part of Jade's Master of Choreography season in March 2008 at VCA. |
