Hundreds + Thousands is a choreographic work that enlists plants as artistic collaborators, audience members and social mediators to explore the transformative powers of communality, fluidity and stillness.
Both Luke George and Daniel Kok’s choreographic and visual artworks explore intimacy, spectatorship, relational politics, closeness and coexistence. These interests and practices, of course, are transformed by the experience of a pandemic.
With a team of six collaborating artists living across the cities of Naarm-Melbourne, Singapore, Tainan and Manila, the creative development process for Luke and Daniel’s latest ambitious and beautiful new work has changed in 2020 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. So, this development time now represents a segue to inviting other artists, thinkers and the public into an interaction with the work’s key ideas in the context of the new world we all find ourselves in.
