Dance House
A Gulsen Ozer Collection

Five female choreographers have each created a solo dance for a male dancer. Performed in the round, this vibrant collection consists of a diverse and surprising combination of dance forms and content
An autonomously created cohesive musical composition will overlay the five individual works and be introduced to the performances for the first time on the eve before opening night.

Musical director/composer : Wendy Morrison
Curator : Gulsen Ozer
Since completing a Bachelor in Performing Arts with Honors in Visual Culture and a second major in Drama and a minor in Dance at Monash University Melbourne, Gulsen has worked as a choreographer, writer, performer and director, as well as a workshop facilitator, dramaturge, curator and producer in the performing and visual arts. Gulsen is currently developing a new dance-theatre work entitled 'Iris' in creative partnership with Dani-Ela Kayler.
"My vision for Girls on Boys is to create a diverse program which encourages new collaborations and involves taking risks. The program title is intentionally provocative marking an old primary school term for dividing into teams to play a game i.e. "Boys on girls", "Girls on boys."
Your Collection
girls on boys has come about through "Your Collection", a Dancehouse initiative that sought expressions of interest from artists to curate a season of short works. Dancehouse provides support to the artist in curating the program and presents their "collection"in a fully promoted public performance season. Like a clothing line, book of stamps or a shed full of biscuit tins, this dance collection is Gulsen Ozer's Collection.
