The work of Shelley Lasica reveals a sustained exploration of dance, movement and the varying contexts in which they can occur. When I Am Not There has been produced to accompany a performance exhibition reflecting on forty years of Lasicas choreographic practice. Held at Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne (1527 August 2022), When I Am Not There is the first Australian survey of its kind. Centering on a new ensemble work that Melbourne-based Lasica has developed with a team of ten other artists Lydia Connolly-Hiatt, Luke Fryer, Timothy Harvey, Rebecca Jensen, Megan Payne, Lisa Radford, Lana prajcer, Oliver Savariego, Franois Ttaz and Colby Vexler it also presents components from Lasicas archive of earlier works, including costuming, objects, soundscapes and text.
