Dance is potent. It circulates within us like blood, and seeps out of us like sweat. Enigmatic in character, Dance nests within many bodies in order to define its shape. Although volatile and untouchable, Dance is always poised at the ready, waiting to be observed.
'To immortality and out the other side' is a sculptural work that celebrates Dance as an essential material for the creation of its own archive. With the aid of motion capture technology, the dancing body and its logic has passed into the digital realm in order to birth a new, physicalised skeletal body – its own archival relic, a fossilised dance…
However, housed within Gallium (a natural metal with a melting point at 29.76°C), this Dance remains volatile and untouchable, just like its creator.

GETTING TO CHUNKY MOVE:
If taking Public Transport, there are two tram journey options. Both options connect with Flinders Street Station:
Take Route 1, which travels along Sturt Street and straight to ACCA’s front door. Alight at Stop 17 (accessible stop) at the Recital Centre and continue south down Sturt Street to ACCA’s front door at 111 Sturt Street. If you are standing facing the ACCA front doors, you will see a courtyard on the right side of this building. Enter the courtyard and towards the end on the left of the courtyard is a large Chunky Move sign. This is our front door. Walk towards this sign. The total walking distance is approximately 300 metres.
Alternatively, Take Routes 3, 5, 16, 64, 67, 72 along St Kilda Road. Alight at Stop 17 (accessible tram stop) on the corner of St. Kilda Road and Grant Street and continue down Grant Street. Walk past the big yellow sculpture and through the large undercroft towards a courtyard, you will be on a gravel surface. The door to our building is immediately on your right once you walk through the undercroft. The total walking distance is approximately 450 metres.
PARKING:
There are two car spaces for Deaf, disabled and Neurodiverse people or artists located at 28 Sturt Street, right outside the ACCA entrance (approx. 100 metres from Chunky Move), and two spaces located at the back of the Malthouse Theatre building at 78 Dodds St (approx. 75 metres from Chunky Move).
There is paid unreserved on-street parking available near Chunky Move on Sturt St, Grant St and Dodds St – much of this parking becomes free after 6:30pm.
