One Single Action is a new dance work from internationally acclaimed choreographer Lucy Guerin. Two dancers traverse a narrow path, in and out of sync, in conflict and in harmony – moving through fragmented terrain that leads in one direction. In an attempt to interrupt the acceleration of our times and pause the relentless scrolling of their thoughts, they resort to a single desperate action.
Performed by Amber McCartney and Geoffrey Watson, this captivating duet embodies the disjuncture between the internal and external dimensions of the human experience in a world fraught with interference. Following the premieres of two large-scale works in 2021 (PENDULUM) and 2023 (NEWRETRO), One Single Action is a return to the intimacy of Guerin’s award-winning work Split. One Single Action first premiered at Chunky Move Studios for RISING in Melbourne, June 2024.
