THE HUNTING POSTURE
THE HUNTING POSTURE is a visceral contemporary dance work, set inside a surreal courtroom where human instinct itself stands trial. As humanity judges its own evolutionary inheritance, brutal physicality collides with ritual, exposing what happens when bodies built to hunt are forced to live in a world that no longer needs them.
Through striking movement, haunting imagery and dark absurdity, The Hunting Posture interrogates the evolutionary mismatch between our primal biology and modern civilisation. This bold new work asks: when evolution built a spear, but modernity gave it nowhere to land, what becomes of the body?

Presenter
Presented by: Makeda Callinicos-Tomlin
Makeda Callinicos-Tomlin is a Perth-based contemporary choreographer and dance artist trained at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). She is the creator of HUMAN FLOCK, The Pieces of Us That Are Dead Now, and now, THE HUNTING POSTURE. As someone softer at heart, Makeda creates brutal, strange performances as an artistic alter ego, one fascinated by the grotesque, the absurd and the uncomfortable. Her practice creates strange worlds for audiences to escape into: places where bodies mutate into creatures and familiar behaviours are distorted. Through each work, she invites audiences to step sideways out of reality and into uncanny worlds, leaving an emotional residue that lasts long after you leave the theatre.Social media
