revolverWhat is new work in the era of social media 'templates,' endless cloud storage and meme-ory? REVOLVER reflects on authorship, archive and repertoire in the contemporary artist’s navigation of digital/live cultures in the creative process.
Lizzy Tan stitches together material captured in different contexts and years from her own archive spanning a decade, performed on-stage and through interactions with projections. Through the solo, Tan tracks the evolution of her creative process and revisits longtime collaborators.
REVOLVER presents the body as an avatar - interrogating the boundaries between past/present, archive/repertoire and citation/creation.
Revolver was commissioned for Resolution Festival 2024.

'Revolver offers an intriguing perspective on the creative process and on archiving, and how these might be affected when we have the ability to record and capture everything if we choose...'
Rachel Elderkin, Resolution Review of 'Revolver' (2024)
'... the psyche of a decade’s worth of dance works layered and interconnected like an intricate web...'
