The highly charged and evocative sound and smell of a struck match provide the ignition point for A Small Prometheus; a new work for five dancers about the consequences of small actions and the fragility of physical systems.\nCombustion and transformation drive the unfolding choreography as dancers synchronise, mesh and collide. Fire-driven kinetic sculptures become part of live interactive sound-and-movement loops between dancer, sculpture and machine.\nTwo of Australia\u2019s most exciting and uncompromising artists, Stephanie Lake and Robin Fox, seamlessly interlace choreography, sound and objects to create rich tension in a work that swings deftly between chaotic, free-form experiments and mechanically intricate moments. A Small Prometheus creates\na strange and enthralling world of darkness, light and the spark that mediates the two.\n\nThis postshow Q&A was recorded on Thursday 17th October 2013\n\nCreated by: Stephanie Lake and Robin Fox\nChoreographer: Stephanie Lake\nComposer and Sculpture Designer: Robin Fox\nPerformers: Alana Everett, Lauren Langlois, Rennie McDougall, Lily Paskas, Lee Serle\nLighting Designer: Jen Hector\nCostume Designer: Harriet Oxley\nProduction Manager: Richard Dinnen, Megafun\nProducer: Insite Arts
