Tempo Dance Festival presents

When It Is Finished + Glimmer

Deanne Butterworth + val smith

A double bill from Naarm Melbourne-Based Deanne Butterworth and our own val smith.

When It Is Finished

She made a choice in that moment which changed the course of everything. For her it was finished. Over in a flash. For others, they remember.

When It Is Finished connects two periods of working in two vastly different places. It deals with an emergence of a logic over time and a side-by-side display of embodied knowledge.

Glimmer

Glimmer is a choreographic meditation exploring the trajectory of transgender time through the embodied experiences of waiting and disjuncture.

Beyond narratives of transition as linear progress or eventual arrival, Glimmer lingers with the suspended temporalities that shape trans life — waiting for appointments, change, recognition, or certainty.
