INTERCHANGE 2019
Pepa Ubera (UK) came to Australia for a month on a residency in partnership with Dance4 (UK). Pepa used the residency to experiment and design scores in which we can rethink methodologies for progression and success. She envisages a social environment for horizontal activities and dreams that happens in a circular space occupied by the audience and performers with no hierarchical structure.
Along with a Critical Path Research Residency, Pepa was in residence at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith, travelled to Launceston, Tasmania for a 2 week residency at Tasdance, and led a series of daily workshops at Sydney Dance Company. Pepa’s residency culminated in a presentation of her research at the Drill Hall.
