Australian Dance Theatre - Held

HELD is a dance performance about photography, time and perceptions of reality.

Embodying the dynamic tension between Garry Stewarts ballistic choreography and its fixed capture by photographer Lois Greenfield, HELD juxtaposes solidity with liquidity, heaviness with lightness, stillness with flow, clarity with illusion into an extraordinary live performance.

Using electronic strobes to photograph the dramatic explosions and propulsion which are Garry Stewarts style, Lois Greenfield created the illusion of weightlessness by freezing these dynamic moments at 1/2000 of a second, projected instantaneously, revealing to the audience a moment that exists beneath the threshold of perception.
