Sydney record label World’s Only celebrates the release of Megan Alice Clune's composition for 'We Make Each Other Up’, the recently premiered dance work of choreographer Rhiannon Newton. Envisioning a world that is deeply and sensitively networked, We Make Each Other Up conjures a "vespertine biosphere" where care, multi-species cooperation and alternative speeds for living saturate the fibres of being. This one-off event features Clune's "powerfully earthy and enveloping" score, performed live with uniquely vegetal collaborators and video from the original performance.

We Make Each Other Up is a Dancehouse Housemate Production, originally developed and presented in 2018 at Dancehouse, Melbourne

Artists:
+ Megan Alice Clune
+ Rhiannon Newton

Rhiannon Newton is an Australian dancer and choreographer. She creates performance works that inhabit theatre, public and gallery spaces. Ongoing themes in her work include repetition and the study patterns that give rise to change and stasis within the body and our world.

Her works have been presented nationally and internationally in contexts such as Brisbane Festival, The Powerhouse: Festival 2018, Firstdraft Exhibitions Program, Nagib On Stage (SL), Tanzhaus Zurich (CH) and Movement Research at the Judson Church (USA). She has developed her practice in residencies throughout Australia, Europe and the USA and been a part of international exchange programs involving Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia and Singapore.
