Under A Willow - a long way from China
Originally commissioned by 24 Hour Experience - Ballarat, November 2015
Castlemaine State Festival, March 2017
Set beneath the powerful limbs of a grand willow tree, dancer Janette Hoe, with her trademark Butoh inspired, improvised movement responds to object, element and voice.
Challenging our collective perceptions of the Chinese in the Victorian Goldfields region, UNDER A WILLOW – a long way from China reveals the story of a contemporary Chinese elder and the surprising soundtrack to her life; where Butoh collides with ABBA and Mozart.
