    From down under comes dance thunder! Australia’s Chunky Move is a company that feasts on theatrical invention and high-tech special effects. Its witty and unpredictable works have garnered multiple Helpmann Awards, Australia’s prestigious live performance award. In a Philadelphia premiere, Chunky Move performs its new work, Connected, a collaboration with kinetic sculptor Reuben Margolin and founding Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek. A side-step from the norm for Chunky Move, Connected relies less on digital technology and more on Margolin’s purpose-built, kinetic sculpture. Constructed from wood, recycled plastic, paper and steel, Margolin’s weightless waveform sculpture appears as the agile dancers twist and hurl through space. Beginning with simple movements and hundreds of tiny pieces, the dancers construct the awe-inspiring sculpture in real performance time.
