Molly
Choreographed by Caroline Meaden
This October, Union House Theatre (UHT) is presenting ‘Molly’, a major new work of contemporary dance theatre by award-winning choreographer Caroline Meaden.
‘Molly’ will headline the opening week of UHT’s inaugural ‘Guild Fringe’ season of works focused on dance and movement, presenting professional works alongside student productions.
‘Molly’ is a new work of dance and theatre, about the tension between moving and staying still. ‘Molly’ is hypnotic, delicate, and frustrating and confounding to those who love her, but she can be viciously decisive if she wants to be. Dance is the material with which Molly’s world is constructed, and the language she dreams in. Theatre is the frame.
Riffing on the themes and vernacular of 20th Century plays with troubled or listless female protagonists, ‘Molly’ features an ensemble cast of some of Melbourne’s most captivating professional dancers alongside Union House Theatre students. The work is a lucid dream driven by a formally experimental proposition – a foray into narrative with a choreographic map.
