An exclusive world premiere of Trace – a new short dance film that explores how bodies move with, against and through our natural landscapes.
Filmed on location at Boulders Beach in Northern NSW, the work is created by 10 d/Deaf and disabled artists from Sprung Ensemble – bringing diverse perspectives to a striking choreographic response to place. Shot by Jorge Serra and scored by Mitch King (Bundjalung/Yaegl), Trace layers original movement with sound and textures sourced directly from the environment – branches rustling, water rolling over rocks and wind through the grass. The result is a gentle, reflective and contemporary exploration of nature, movement and belonging – centred through d/Deaf and disabled perspectives that reveal different ways of sensing and connecting with the world around us.
The premiere screening of Trace will be followed by a panel discussion with Sprung Ensemble artists and Sprung Dance Theatre Artistic Director Daniele Constance, facilitated by Undercover Artist Festival Producer Dr Lynne Bradley.
