SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL

IN 2024, PHIA HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPOSE AN ORIGINAL SCORE FOR CHOREOGRAPHER JULIEN CRAVERO'S DEBUT CHOREOGRAPHY SHOWCASE 'TOGETHER, IN TIME: MEMOIR FOR THE LOST, FOUND, FALSE AND FICTITIOUS', AS A PART OF SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL. FORMALLY STUDENTS OF SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY'S PRE-PROFESSIONAL YEAR, JULIEN AND THE CATCHMENT DANCE COLLECTIVE DEBUTED THEIR PERFORMANCE ALONGSIDE OTHER EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS TO CURATE A THREE-PART SHOWCASE. JULIEN AND PHIA'S SHARED LOVE OF INDUSTRIAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC MUSIC MADE COMPOSING THE SCORE AN EXCITING AND ALMOST INTUITIVE PROCESS, WITH VERY LITTLE CHANGES MADE TO THE PIECE THROUGHOUT. AS A DANCE TEACHER BY DAY AND PRODUCER BY NIGHT, BEING ABLE TO COMPOSE A PIECE FOR A DANCE PERFORMANCE WAS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR PHIA, LET ALONE AT THE LEGENDARY SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL. PHIA LOOKS FORWARD TO FUTURE COLLABORATIONS WITH THE CATCHMENT DANCE COLLECTIVE.
