Double Trouble: Dance. & the wizard is not real

The Tanzhaus collaborators from The Field invite you to an evening of solidarity: DOUBLE TROUBLE brings together two solos that reinforce rather than compete with one another. In the wizard is not real, lisa laurent navigates grief as a grotesque-poetic soundscape between fragility and humour. Dance. by Gabriella Imrichova revolves, as an excessive tirade, around denial, obsession and the all-consuming nature of control. Two radical bodies that, between collapse and self-empowerment, make intense, contradictory states visible.

The Field

The Field is a collective of dance artists who have been working together since 2019. The collective has collaborated with local and international artists to create a range of works from large scale performances to intimate artistic exchanges. So far, The Field has developed works with Meg Stuart (Waterworks), Isabel Lewis (Scalable Skeletal Escalator), Simone Aughterlony (The Best and the Worst of Us) and is currently developing a piece with Ofelia Jarl Ortega.

The collective came into being from the necessity to create flexible, versatile, sensitive and enduring forms of togetherness, to find ways of articulating our cultural, social and political concerns through dance experiences. Their commitment to non-hierarchical forms of working shapes all of The Field’s artistic outputs.

Gabriella Imrichova

Gabriella Imrichova works with the medium of live performance across theatre, visual arts, and dance contexts. A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts (BFA Theatre, 2019) and cohort of Dancehouse’s Emerging Choreographers Program (2022), their work interrogates the “shoulds” of art-making and spectatorship, reassessing what is deemed valuable, legible, or worthy of stage time. Recent presentations include works at Blindside Gallery, Dancehouse, Temperance Hall, and Contact High (Performance Review x Gertrude). They have undertaken residencies at Bundanon, the ATLAS programme at ImPulsTanz (Vienna), and most recently the Front Studio Residency at Temperance Hall. 

lisa laurent

lisa’s primary medium is choreography. the work explores the representation of lisa’s own body through a lens of reflexivity and self-derision. with a particular interest in the tension between control and exposure, lisa engages in a continual dismantling of form – physical, emotional, and spatial. in parallel with her choreographic practice, lisa has worked with Cindy Van Acker and is a member of La Ribot Ensemble, where she took part in both new creations and the repertoire of the artist. from 2024 to 2026, lisa is an associated artist at Sévelin 36. in 2025, lisa won the Swiss Performance Art Award for her piece the wizard is not real.
