Chunky Move
Founded by Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move has earned an enviable reputation for producing a distinct yet unpredictable brand of genre-defying dance performance.
Chunky Move�s work constantly seeks to redefine what is or what can be contemporary dance within an ever-evolving Australian culture. The company�s work is both diverse in form and content; to date the company has created a number of works for the stage, site specific, new-media and installation work.
In July 2012, Chunky Move entered a new period of artistic leadership under the guidance of Artistic Director, Anouk van Dijk. Van Dijk is an internationally acclaimed choreographer whose work has toured extensively throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Her work attracts broad audiences through an approach, which is daring, innovative and unpredictable in both its mode and context.
Chunky Move�s multi-tiered programming initiatives foster and support a strong and vibrant dance culture in its home city of Melbourne and also creates critically acclaimed and popular larger productions for touring. Recent cities toured include: New York, Hong Kong, Beirut and Barcelona.
In 2008 Chunky Move received Best Dance Work for Glow and Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production for Mortal Engine at the Live Performance Australia Helpmann Awards. In 2009, Mortal Engine received an Honorary Mention in the Prix Ars Electronica awards in the Hybrid Arts category. In 2011, Chunky Move was the recipient of two Green Room awards for their production, Assembly. Anouk van Dijk's debut production with the company, An Act of Now, received The Age Critics Award for Best New Australian Work in the Melbourne Festival, a hallmark to its premiere season.
Recent works include: An Act of Now, Faker and Connected.
