The Next 14 Seconds

Phluxus2 Dance Collective is an award-winning Brisbane based dance theatre company founded in 2006 and led by choreographer Nerida Matthaei. Today, the collective of over 140 artists has a strong vision that champions innovation through experimentation, seeking the unknown and advocating for rigorous choreographic practice. Phluxus2 proudly creates cutting-edge dance work for the stage, events, ceremonies and studios, whilst also delivering exceptional education, community and sector engagement initiatives. Nerida has over 20 years experience as a multi-award winning choreographer, movement director, artistic director, performer and intimacy coordinator for stage and screen globally. The underlying pulse of her work comes from an ingrained passion for contemporary choreographic practice as a beautifully planned anarchy of mind-body collaboration. With over 400 credits she is a much sought-after collaborator across artistic sectors internationally. This project brings together an exceptional creative team - Lisa Fa'alafi, Arabella Walker, Ben Ely, Haami Te Kuru, Keith Clark, Dan Evans as well as a talented ensemble of five dancers.
