About

Ivey Wawn (1990) is a dancer living and working in Eora (Sydney) with choreography for a range of contexts. Her experience primarily lies in live performance for theatres and galleries, but she has also made video and writing in other instances. She works with embodied imagination and systemic choreographies, actively engaged in what meaning that produces within capitalist social relations. She is committed to dance for its pro-sociality and its resistance to the commodity form.  

Her work and the work she has contributed to as a choreographer has been presented and supported by institutions such as; Artshouse (VIC), Art Gallery of NSW (NSW), Carriageworks (NSW), Cementa (NSW), Museum of Contemporary Art (NSW), National Gallery of Australia (ACT), Next Wave Festival (VIC), Performance Space (NSW), RMIT Design Hub (VIC), Tate Galleries (UK), and UTS Galleries (NSW) among others. 

She has strong collaborative relationships with artists based in NSW, as well as working friendships with artists throughout Australia and abroad. She has spent time working extensively as a performer, but in recent years splits her labour time between work as an artists and work as a hospitality provider in her restaurant Fontana, which she owns and operates with friends in Redfern.
