FreeSteps - Grand Canyon

A dancer leans gracefully to the side with eyes closed and arms curved overhead. They wear a beige top and are partially wrapped in a large, sculptural sheet of crumpled black paper. Behind them, lush green ferns and trees frame the scene, with pale pebbles underfoot.

A dramatic image of a performer wrapped in a large black piece of paper, they look thoughtfully skywards. Behind the performer is a deep blue backdrop.

A dancer bends low to the ground, partially enveloped in a large, sculptural sheet of crumpled light blue paper. They wear a beige top and black shorts. The scene is set in a spacious, reflective hall with floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, greenery and traditional-style buildings are visible, with a bold red geometric sculpture seen through the glass.

One Performer. One Sheet of Paper. A sculpture with a life of its own.

FreeSteps – Grand Canyon transforms public space into a living sculpture. Part dance, part kinetic installation, this site-responsive work is a duet between a human body and a giant sheet of paper. Shifting, folding and crumpling, flesh and paper press against each other until something new emerges. Motion becomes meaning, and texture becomes storytelling.

Created by acclaimed Taiwanese choreographer Wei-Chia Su and performed by long-time collaborator Pei-Yung Chen, this pop-up performance will happen when you least expect it. Look for it at Fringe Flavours Night Market at Queen Victoria Market, Power Move at Fed Square, and Nocturnal at Melbourne Museum. Wherever it appears, you’ll be glad you were there.

Please note: the Melbourne Museum session happening Thursday, 9 Oct is part of Nocturnal: Action-Reaction, which is a ticketed event. Please purchase a ticket via that event to ensure you don't miss out!

「自由步 – 造山運動」將公共空間幻化成一個生動的雕塑,它既是舞蹈表演,也是動態裝置藝術。這場人體與紙張的雙人舞在不斷摺疊、揉捏與移動的過程中,誕生出新的可能。他們的動作舞出了意義,他們的質地交織成故事。

這個由台灣著名編舞家蘇威嘉所帶來的創作,將由長期合作的舞者陳珮榕親身演繹。這場即興快閃表演可能會在你最意想不到的時候出沒。你可以在Fringe Flavours Night Market (維多利亞皇后夜市),Fed Square (聯邦廣場)的 Power Move 活動以及墨爾本博物館的 Nocturnal 夜間展演看到它的身影。 無論它在哪裡驚喜現身,我們都希望你不要錯過。
