Workshop Description

Based on his 15 years of choreographic practice, Antony Hamilton has developed a workshop for TPAC. During this workshop, complex choreographies are created using his unique number-based choreographic system and associated movement language, collaborative and democratic choreographic tools, live composition and improvisational strategies, and dramaturgy created from the material conditions of people, objects, and space. Participants' imaginative interpretation of ideas and intuition are crucial to the creative process. Hamilton guides the self-discovery of participants, with a criticality towards generating work, while cultivating an environment of playfulness and curiosity, to unlock new ways of seeing and experiencing the world we inhabit.

About the Artist

Antony Hamilton was appointed artistic director and co-CEO of Chunky Move in 2019. His choreographic practice examines the elemental and primordial nature of the body, set against intersecting narratives that explore past, present, and future. He often employs a sophisticated melding of movement, sound, and visual design to collaboratively imagine complete worlds, and develops new choreographic languages to occupy them.

Hamilton has been the recipient of major fellowships: Bangarra Dance Theatre (Russell Page Fellowship), Tanja Liedtke Foundation, Australia Council for the Arts, and Sidney Myer Foundation. In 2013, he was resident director of Lucy Guerin Inc and in 2014 was guest dance curator at The National Gallery of Victoria. He was also the inaugural international resident artist at Dancemakers Toronto from 2016 to 2018. Hamilton has created numerous national and international commissions, including Keep Everything and I Like This for Chunky Move, Black Project 3 for The Lyon Opera Ballet (France), Sentinel for Skanes Dansteater (Sweden), and They Want New Language for La Comète (France).
