Reference Material, a new dance work from
choreographer Alisdair Macindoe exploring
the process and history of dance making in
the age of narcissism, debuts as a part of
Darebin Arts Speakeasy season at the
Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre.
Sitting somewhere between a lecture, a
stand-up show, a guided tour and a dance
recital, Reference Material is a chaotic and
humorous performance that reflects a world
saturated by media technology.
In an effort to salute the historical figures
and social icons who have paved the way
toward our current privileged performance
culture, Reference Material takes on the
impossible task of acknowledging and
referencing its own cultural context,
unashamedly exposing its own creative
process in doing so.
Alisdair Macindoe is an Australian dancer, sound designer and choreographer. His
experience in these fields has taken his work to many countries worldwide, earning critical
acclaim in the media and receiving local and international awards including five Green Room
awards, a Helpmann and a New York Bessie award. Alisdair is a recipient of the Peggy van
Praagh and Sidney Myer Fellowships, and a board member of Ausdance Victoria.
Notable collaborations include his work as a dancer for Lucy Guerin, Chunky Move, Antony
Hamilton, Stephanie Lake and DanceNorth, and his work as a sound designer for Chunky
Move, Antony Hamilton, STOMPIN and DanceNorth. His choreographic work includes
commissions for DanceNorth, Lucy Guerin, Next Wave, Performance Space, and STOMPIN.
Reference Material is based on ideas Macindoe began exploring during a commission on the
graduating year of dance students at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2017.
