Unexpected Animal / Kindling

Unexpected Animal|Kindling is an intimate double-bill of duets which explore a relationship of mother, son and dance through live performance and film.

Choreographed by Saffy Setohy, and performed by dance artist Lois Taylor and her teenage son Jake, Unexpected Animal / Kindling is an intimate double-bill of duets which invites the audience to witness a tender and playful choreography of a parent and child on the cusp of change.

Weaving visceral movement, text, imagery, and a sound score encompassing live and found sounds, the work is a unique collaborative enquiry into a relationship and the places it dances through. Unexpected Animal gives attention to the unfolding and evolving of this relationship in the live moment of performance. Kindling explores Lois and Jakes relationship to their home environment in a collage of expanded moments in time, captured on film.
