December 30th, 2024One Single Action: dance performance

To be staged at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat early in the new year, ‘One Single Action’ is a new dance work from internationally acclaimed choreographer Lucy Guerin.

Two dancers traverse a narrow path, in and out of sync, in conflict and in harmony – moving through fragmented terrain that leads in one direction.

In an attempt to interrupt the acceleration of our times and pause the relentless scrolling of their thoughts, they resort to a single desperate action. 

Performed by Amber McCartney and Geoffrey Watson, this captivating duet embodies the disjuncture between the internal and external dimensions of the human experience in a world fraught with interference. 

Following the premieres of two large-scale works in 2021 (PENDULUM) and 2023 (NEWRETRO), One Single Action is a return to the intimacy of Guerin’s award-winning work Split. 

One Single Action first premiered at Chunky Move Studios for RISING in Melbourne, June 2024 and is now set to be performed at her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat on Thursday evening, February 13.
