Co3 Artistic Director Raewyn Hill has invited Emma Fishwick to be the IN.RESIDENCE artist for 2022. The IN.RESIDENCE program allows Perth’s leading independent choreographic voices the space for reflection, reinvention, and presentation. This opportunity will give Fishwick time to invest in the research and development of her thoughtful, hypnotic and hauntingly beautiful choreographic work.   

From Here, Together unpacks the out-takes of Emma Fishwick’s 2021 Perth Festival commission, Slow Burn, Together. What was discarded becomes new again in  an upcycling of choreographic intent and a redirection of the original. Working with a formidable creative team of local artists, Fishwick undertakes a purposeful exploration of the duration and labour of moving images and the power of collective action through an ensemble of performing bodies.  

The outcome of this investigation will be presented in Rehearsal Room 1 at State Theatre Centre, the performance home of Co3 Contemporary Dance. It will include a facilitated discussion with the audience at the completion of each showing with Fishwick and her creative collaborators. An exciting opportunity to engage in the process and deliberate on the art form that is contemporary dance.
