CHUNKY MOVE

In a world full of commotion and clamour, 4/4 is a captivating meditation of meticulous dance.

Union Theatre

Presented by Chunky Move and University of Melbourne Arts and Culture (UMAC). 4/4 is Chunky Move’s blueprint for choreographic precision, physical endurance, minimalist design and rugged street aesthetics. Eight dancers perform a stark symphony of mesmerising movement against the backdrop of minimalist design. As episode after episode builds upon the last, quartets and duets converge and diverge in ever more hypnotic configurations. Described by audiences as meticulous, mesmerising and exhilarating, and collecting 5- and 4-star reviews and a Green Room award and nomination, 4/4 is a stunning and unrelenting display of Chunky Move Artistic Director Antony Hamilton’s distinctive choreographic language and methodology. Following a sell-out 2023 premiere season at Malthouse Theatre, 4/4 returns for three shows only at UMAC’s Union Theatre to once again wow Naarm/Melbourne audiences, before heading on a six-week tour to some of Europe’s most prestigious theatres. 4/4 is a captivating meditation of scintillating choreography that’s not to be missed. ––––––––––––– ★★★★★ "Embodied, rigorous and sensorially spectacular, Chunky Move’s latest dance work will linger long past the final beat." – ArtsHub ★★★★ “4/4 has energy, focus, and you should see it because it stimulates the nervous system like no other sort of contemporary dance.” – The Age “One of the most engaging and mesmerising dance pieces I’ve ever seen" – Audience member ––––––––––––– Creative TeamConcept &amp; Direction: Antony Hamilton Choreography: Antony Hamilton with Mason Kelly, Melissa Pham, David Prakash, Harrison Ritchie-Jones, Aimee Schollum, Michaela Tancheff, Nikki Tarling, Jayden Wall Performers: Melissa Pham, David Prakash, Harrison Ritchie-Jones, Aimee Schollum, Kyall Shanks, Michaela Tancheff, Nikki Tarling, Jayden Wall Understudy: Samakshi Sidhu Original Cast: Mason Kelly Costume Design: Paula Levis Sound Design: Alisdair Macindoe Lighting Design: Bosco Shaw Production Design: Antony Hamilton &amp; Ashley Buchanan Production Manager: Ashley Buchanan Production Coordinator: Olivia Walker Associate Lighting Designer and Programmer: Nick Moloney Stage Manager: Lyndie Li Wan Po Sound Engineer: Ethan Hunter Executive Director &amp; Co-CEO: Kristy Ayre Senior Producer: Kristina ArnottImage Credit: Gianna Rizzo––––––––––– IMPORTANT INFOContact Us For any enquiries about 4/4, including regarding accessibility, please contact Chunky Move by emailing info@chunkymove.com.au or calling 03 9645 5188 (Monday–Friday, 9am–5:30pm).
