    From down under comes dance thunder.

    Australia's Chunky Move is a company that feasts on theatrical invention and high tech special effects. Their witty high-concept full-length works are full of characters and plot and integrate special effects and props into the choreography. In 2008, Chunky Move received Best Dance Work for Glow and Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production for Mortal Engine at the Live Performance Australia Helpmann Awards. In Connected, Chunky Move's newest work and a Philadelphia premiere, Artistic director Gideon Obarzanek teams up with California artist Reuben Margolin and the focus shifts from digital technology to mechanics. Margolin has designed a startling kinetic sculpture, constructed from wood, recycled plastic, paper and steel which appears as weightless waveforms for the athletic dancers to twist and hurl through space. Beginning with simple movements and hundreds of tiny pieces, the dancers construct the sculpture in real performance time.
