Description

In this clip, Phillip Adams and Mikala Dwyer chat on BalletLab's forthcoming work, Thumb which will premiere in 2014. Inspired by size-changing and mythological themes from movies like The Incredible Shrinking Man, Tom Thumb, Fantastic Voyage and the 2010 cult film Troll Hunter, Thumb will envelop audiences and shift their perceptions of space, size and perspective. Thumb is a gigantic work for a small space. It draws on visual arts, installation, movement combined with theatre craft to create a new experience that immerses audiences into a whole new play-space. Or hypnotises you into believing so.... Are you up for that? Thumb undergoes further development in late 2013 before its final development and premiere in April 2014. For more information about this work, go to www.balletlab.com Collaborating artists: Phillip Adams, Mikala Dwyer, David Franzke (sound), Tina Havelock-Stevens (film) and performers: Brooke Stamp, Clair Peters, Matthew Day, Rennie McDougall, Jo White. Thumb's initial developments were supported by Arts Victoria, The Australia Council for the Arts, Phillip Adams BalletLab and Malthouse Theatre.
