Talitha Maslin, an Australian dancer and choreographer, is in residence for two weeks at Raum 33 in Vienna. During this period of research and creation, she will develop and present a work in progress of In to the Deep, a multidisciplinary performance made in collaboration with theorbo player and composer Matthew Jones.

​

In to the Deep inhabits poetic and practical responses to interacting with paper. It evokes natural phenomena — constellations trembling in distant space, leaves relinquished to gravity — while inviting reflection on sustainability, utility, and cycles of consumption and renewal. Through this fragile medium, the performance explores tensions between strength and delicacy, permanence and disappearance, control and unpredictability. Structured within a temporal framework yet shaped through improvisation, the work unfolds as a living system.

 

The musical arrangement generates a sonic landscape in which theorbo and viola da gamba move between ancient compositions and real-time synthesis. The dancer encounters paper physically and imaginatively, allowing its textures, symbolism, and sound to shape the choreographic response.

​

The showing will be approximately 45 minutes, offering an intimate insight into her artistic and choreographic process.
