Alison Currie

Alison has created/co-created 35 new dance works since completing a BA in Dance Performance in 2003.

Her choreographic practice is concerned with sculptural forms, found objects and environments, in relationship to the performer, exploring the exchange of agency between them. Her work connects the individual with universally shared humanity through live performance. A Research Masters in Choreography and Performance from University of Roehampton (UK) in 2015 enabled Alison to deepen her core investigation into object and subject in performance.

Alison has created significant new dance works including Of All Things commissioned and performed by ADT, Close Company commissioned by RAW Moves Singapore, Concrete Impermanence, I can relate commissioned by Carriageworks, as well as several collaborative works including Somewhere, Everywhere, Nowhere co-directed and performed with Yui Kawaguchi for OZAsia Festival 2021, and three works in collaboration with visual artists (and sister) Bridget Currie: Sister of Icarus, Things meeting now and Three ways to hold. Alison was a Keir Award Finalist 2020 for De-Limit co-directed with David Cross and was awarded Arts South Australia’s inaugural Triennial Project Grant to present and tour her first major work 42a - an interactive installation performance, 2008-2010. Alison’s work has been presented in Singapore, Ireland, The Netherlands, UK and four states of Australia.  

After the success of Progress Report (Vitalstatistix 2021, FRAME Festival The Substation 2023, INDance Sydney Dance Company 2025) Alisdair Macindoe and Alison are working on their second co-directed work MULTI-SOLO (supported by a Dancenorth Four Walls and a Floor residency 2023). Alison also has an ongoing practice with Ade Suharto, beginning in 2021, which has led to an iterative series of performance moments entitled Maintain, Rest, Value (2023-ongoing).
