The intimate beats of our emotional lives find mesmerising physical expression in Love Me’s three short dance works, from acclaimed choreographer Lucy Guerin.
 
A woman dances her heart out under the oblivious gaze of a projected lover (Reservoir of Giving).

Body fragments twist and flex in pockets of light in a disturbing struggle for control, as On teeters on the brink of off.

And in Melt, “a perfect miniature jewel of a dance” (Dance Australia), two bodies engage in a duet of icy detachment to the boiling point of human emotion.

The three works feature projected light, image, choreography and sound, and each consider themes of containment in relationships, and the associated ambiguities, ambivalences and manipulations.

Guerin’s precise choreography seamlessly integrates the work of some of Australia’s best dancers with Michaela French’s beautifully detailed motion graphics and David Rozetsky’s film work – to a soundtrack spanning cool jazz (Paul Healy), sparse intensity (Darren Verhagen) and lush beats (Francois Tetaz).

"Extraordinarily gifted… every moment elegantly chosen and defined."

Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice

"With On, Lucy Guerin has produced another major work in telling counterpoint to her other great achievement, Melt… It was a thrill to see Melt on the same program, seeming more sublime then ever and joyously effusive, an immaculate multimedia creation and perfect for a double bill with its dark side, On."

Keith Gallasch, RealTime

"Mesmerisingly potent… Everything is taut and in sharp focus; not a moment is wasted. Guerin is clearly an ingenious choreographer who creates with a sense of purpose and with supreme control of her materials… Melt is a perfect miniature jewel of a dance."

Susan Reiter, Dance Australia
