Cubed

ALISON CURRIE

A new work by Ali­son Cur­rie, Cubed is cur­rently in development.

Cubed is a sculp­ture instal­la­tion and dance work for pub­lic spaces, per­formed by three dancers inside a clear box or ‘cube’. It is view­able from all four sides and chore­o­graphed to cre­ate com­plex visual rhythms from every van­tage point.

The work expands on and ref­er­ences rhythms, pat­terns and sys­tems exist­ing in places of high pedes­trian traf­fic. The work is a study of human inter­ac­tion, the lan­guage of move­ment and the tra­jec­to­ries we fol­low in every­day life.

Cubed is inspired by inevitable human inter­ac­tions in pub­lic space; the habit­ual and sub­con­scious pat­terns that form indi­vid­u­ally, and express them­selves in groups. The chore­og­ra­phy is respon­sive to the individual’s move­ment lan­guage and how this effects, and is affected by, the move­ment of many. Cubed speaks to the knowl­edge that humans are crea­tures of habit.
