UNTRAINED.

So, you think you can dance?

Untrained is a quirky and irreverent theatrical exploration that takes its performers and its audience into a whole new undefined experience. Four men take to the stage. Two are highly skilled, experienced dancers; two are acclaimed visual artists with no movement training whatsoever.

The complex, refined moves one can do with ease, another can only try to approximate. All are given the same instructions. It's how they execute them that displays an individual portrait of each man's character, as well as an unavoidable comparison between the participants.

It's this evolution of information, built up through each unit of action, that shows what they have in common and where their physical histories set them apart. This humorous and courageous examination of dancers and their art could only come from the highly influential Adelaide-born,, Melbourne based Lucy Guerin, who has built her reputation on movement invention and choreographic structure.
