Make a Movement is part of series of works exploring the archive of the Australian artist, choreographer and dancer, Philippa Cullen (1950-75).
This text work is a re-approximation of one of Cullen’s instructional scores Right Durations. Arranged as they are, the words – dancing across the windows outside Artspace – appear to enact this proposition while at the same time declaring it.
