FM Air by choreographer and Convent tenant Jo Lloyd utilises dance to simultaneously disappear and remain permanent through the vehicle of live performance. This is the first public performance in Jo’s intimate studio, ‘The Booth’.

‘Like molecules dispersed from an aerosol pump’ — Ocular Magazine.

In the intimate space of ‘The Booth’, the dance will oscillate in scale, multiply and be passed from one dancer to the next, through the use of placebos and the notion of rewriting narratives. The work extracts elements of Greek tragedies to form dialogue between bodies.

Jo will be joined by dancers Madeleine Bowman, Rebecca Jensen, Lana Sprajcer, Rachel Wisby and Thomas Woodman, for three free 30 minute performances of FM Air in her studio at Abbotsford Convent. This performance of FM Air is an extension of the work originally commissioned for The National 4, Carriageworks, Sydney 2023.

About 

Jo Lloyd

A dance artist based in Naarm, working with choreography as a social encounter, revealing behaviour over various durations and contexts. Her practice seeks to find a language that refuses the limits of history, form and aesthetic. She choreographs the peculiarities and complexities of the mind, which manifests in unconventional ways through the body.

Jo creates works in collaboration with dancers, designers, visual artists and photographers. She has presented and performed her works in galleries, museums and theatres both nationally and internationally including recent commissions for the National Gallery of Victoria, The National 4, RISING, Bundanon Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Australia and ACCA.
