The Curiosities – Sue Healey

Sue Healey's the Curiosities

The Curiosities is a performance installation, dance & film. This work is about the body – the curious complexities of form – in particular the intricate structures of the heart and the brain. Images of the body amplified by digital technology are combined with live dance, probing our perception of reality and sensation. “An intricate, engrossing multimedia dance experience.” Realtime “Immensely playful and surreal, (Healey’s work) offers moments of great intensity and sensitivity…” Dance Australia
