Based in Melbourne since 1995, Holly Cooper is also the artistic director of una soma. This is an independent ensemble focusing on site-specific, cross-arts dance based work that engage in research, education, and production across a range of body practices and artistic disciplines.
Whilst in residence Holly will be creating the performance work Leaning into the Light with una soma to be presented at the gallery later in 2009. This work utilises all three floors of the gallery, structurally echoing the triptych of themes ‘self to self’, ‘self to other’, ‘self to the world’.
Holly is currently a PhD candidate at Victoria University conducting research in contemporary modern dance practice and performance.
