LIFESIZE

Luke George

“…bordering on the pornographic… It intrigues, titillates and leaves one wondering whether one should be watching; (George) craftily sucks us all in.” The Age

Described as a cross-artform orgy of dance, sound, video and light - LIFESIZE explores the new worlds we create in seeking personal connection and expression. The textures and tactics of the work borrow and glean ideas from popular and media culture. With tones of visceral drama and brutal subversions, two performers explore the substitution of real life with imitation.

Luke George is a performer and choreographer. He has performed with Chunky Move, Phillip Adams' Balletlab and Shelley Lasica, amongst others and internationally with Itoh Kim (Tokyo) and Miguel Gutierezz (New York). As a choreographer Luke has worked with the acclaimed Back to Back and Arena theatre companies, as well as creating the award winning Trike and six works for Stompin, where he was Artistic Director from 2002 until 2008.
