Description A collaboration between Chunky Move and Californian artist Reuben Margolin, combining dance, sculpture and digital technology.
Beginning with simple movements and hundreds of tiny pieces, the dancers build their performance while they construct the vast sculpture in real time. During the performance, these basic elements and simple physical connections quickly evolve into complex structures and relationships.

The 30th Annual International Modern Dance Festival (MODAFE 2011) hosted by the Contemporary Dance Association of Korea was held 18-29 May 2011. This year's festival will be held under the theme of "Beauty beyond Body..." and will feature a total of 24 performances from 7 different countries including Korea, Australia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Israel and Japan. The opening performance of the festival will be performed by Chunky Move, an Australian dance company that has garnered international interest for its particular style and energy in contemporary dance. They will be performing their popular piece "Connected" on May 19.

2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Australia and the Republic of Korea. In celebration of this significant milestone, 2011 has been designated the Australia-Korea Year of Friendship, which has comprised a wide range of arts and cultural, education and trade events aimed at deepening bilateral ties.
