Bonemap’s ‘TiLT’… sublime, provocative and captivating.

In July this year groundbreaking performance troupe Bonemap are back with ‘TILT’ an exciting new contemporary performance work, which examines the provocative nature of balance. Standing on shaky ground? Through imagination, wit, daring dance choreography and design, ‘TiLT’ finds a space between chaos and control, and devours it! ‘TiLT’ slips between the cracks of mainstream culture, revealing fluidity where we expect to find the static.

Bonemap has taken audiences to the edge with its groundbreaking productions of contemporary dance and interactive production design. Like previous Bonemap productions, ‘Future Perfect’ and ‘Brink’, ‘TiLT’ will be an immersive theatrical experience showcasing the most innovative digital designers and outstanding contemporary dancers with international reputations.

Cairns based Russell Milledge and Rebecca Youdell artistic co-directors of Bonemap will present the evocative production of ‘TiLT’ in collaboration with the world class talents of dancer Elise May and sound artist Lawrence English, amongst others.

Bonemap is a highly acclaimed team who bring together prominent local and international artists to produce exciting and unconventional works meshing dynamic contemporary dance performance and visual art spectacle.
Bonemap have been ambassadors for Cairns through international invitations to Japan, United Kingdom and Singapore. Co-director Rebecca Youdell has the distinction of being a graduate of the Royal London Ballet School and former dancer with The Royal Swedish Ballet. While Russell Milledge is a visual artist and media designer who has exhibited works internationally and is represented in national and state collections. Bonemap has previously been awarded the prestigious first-ever interdisciplinary award from the Asialink Centre in Melbourne.

‘TiLT’ is contemporary dance performance & visual art installations blurring the definitions of media and performance. The Cairns premier will be at 8pm on Thursday 12 July at the JUTE Theatre, CoCA followed by a two-night season. Arts Queensland, Regional Arts Development Fund, JUTE and KickArts are generously supporting the project.

Also on offer to local artists are a series of workshops with visiting artists, who are facilitating public workshops in Contemporary Dance ‘DanceLab’ on Saturday 7 July and Media Production Design ‘Audio/VideoLab’ Saturday 14 July.

This project is a component of the On Edge Contemporary Media & Performance program, an annual arts event in Cairns. The On Edge Contemporary Media & Performance program features other sound, screen, installation, performance and associated events occurring at KickArts and JUTE Theatre, Centre of Contemporary Arts, 30 June – 1 September 2007.

“We are delighted to have ‘TiLT’ presented as a part of the On Edge Media & Performance program as it is a unique initiative to Far North Queensland and through industry and audience development has the potential to attract national attention and enrich contemporary performance and visual culture in Cairns.” says Youdell.
