3 by Yuiko Masukawa
Three Dancers. One Shot. In a Public Space.
FUSE Festival is Darebin’s contemporary, multi-arts festival. Every year the festival offers signature events presented by the Darebin Arts Festival and Events unit, artist-led events supported by the FUSE Fund, and a platform to share events by local artists and creatives as part of the FUSE Open Access initiative.
Join us to experience contemporary dance – 3 by Yuiko Masukawa. 3 is a choreographic work for three dancers, a basketball team and camera – created by choreographer Yuiko Masukawa. It is a celebration of the virtuosity of dance, and the improvisational aesthetics of sport.
From its genesis as a dance-film, 3 won The Australian Ballet and Telstra’s Emerging Choreographer Award. Now as a full-length performance, 3 returns to the location it was originally filmed, Narrandjeri Stadium, for a presentation that blends dance, sport and live-filmmaking.
Three contemporary dancers – Geoffrey Watson, Louie Wisby and Benjamin Hurley – move through a balletic score in and around a live basketball game. Together with filmmaker Sam McGilp, they create a live screen dance work, presented to the audience in real-time. The work parallels dance and sport, acknowledging their shared expertise and artistry.
