Lucy Guerin
Born in Adelaide, Australia, Lucy Guerin graduated from the Centre for Performing Arts in 1982 before joining the companies of Russell Dumas (Dance Exchange) and Nanette Hassall (Danceworks). She moved to New York in 1989 for seven years where she danced with Tere O’Connor Dance, the Bebe Miller Company and Sara Rudner, and began to produce her first choreographic works.
Lucy Guerin is today a choreographer based in Melbourne and the artistic director of Lucy Guerin Inc, a contemporary dance company founded in 2002. LGI was formed to support the development and creation of new works with a focus on challenging and extending the discourse and practice of dance and building a vibrant community of dance artists. Guerin’s works have merged with film, words, music, design and visual art in collaboration with many other artists. She works towards creating small societies in her productions that devise their rules from the human body’s relationship to space, rhythm and other people. The dancers are her primary collaborators.
