Lucy Eidelson is a multidisciplinary performance artist, dancer, theatre-maker and writer living and creating on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrong land. Lucy's work often carries a sense of strangeness, where the body is rendered dreamlike and malleable to metamorphic changes.
Lucy develops experimental and hybrid works, and her practice encompasses devising work, performance curation, choreography, durational and installation performance, interactive performance, improvisation and community based collaboration.
Lucy is passionate about the role of performance in bringing artists, audiences, and communities together to share and express what are often overlooked narratives. Drawing from their own experience of chronic illness, Lucy seeks to create work that bends and breaks the boundaries of normative, linear and hegemonic systems that engulf the individual and social body.
In 2023, Lucy created, directed, co-choreographed and performed in Air Hunger, a full-length dance show that premiered at Melbourne Fringe in the Magdalen Laundry at Abbotsford Convent. The work explored the experience of chronic illness through the site of the bed and was made up of 9 performers, all with different lived experiences of chronic illness. Air Hunger was well received by audiences and media. It drew capacity houses and received a four-star review from The Age.
Lucy's work and collaborations include creating small and large scale performance works for art exhibitions, fashion events, short films, club nights and music events.
This includes 'Axolotls' for Tesselate Festival 2024 and Luna blessing Solstice, Object Merchant Ball 2024 & 2025, 'Intertwined' first runway by Be Right Back, 'Atmos' at the Norla Dome, 'Cathexis' short film.
Lucy is currently the performance curator for -Topia, a multi-disciplinary arts and music festival run by Tessellate at Abbotsford Convent.
