Deanne Butterworth
A performer, choreographer & teacher, Deanne has been working in contemporary dance, since 1994 performing in Australia and abroad. She has a fascination with the simplicity of the moving body in space, how we choose to watch a performance and what we bring to it. Since 2006 she has concentrated on creating a body of mostly solo work and since 2009 has collaborated with sound artist Michael Munson. Forcefully changing the performance space through a range of sounds; the delicacy of ‘almost silence' to wild thundering repetitive moments, she is also very interested in changing the setting of the space in which she performs. More recently she has begun collaborating with video artist Linda Tegg on live site-specific performances. A long time performer in the work of Shelley Lasica, she has also performed with other renowned choreographers: Sandra Parker, Jo Lloyd, performed in the work of prominent visual artists and created collaborative works with other dancers. Her work has been presented at Dancehouse, Critical Path, Lucy Guerin Inc and in Dance Massive and she has been nominated for Green Room Awards. Deanne has undertaken residencies at Bundanon, Dancehouse and at PAF, France.
