      Program Launch
      Shifting Thresholds // hillsceneLIVE 2019
      8:00PM The Fat Goat 
      2 Morris Road, Upwey
     Join us at the Fat Goat in Upwey for the launch of hillsceneLIVE 2019, where we will reveal this             year's program, the artists and showcase some of their works in progress. These works delve into         the provocation, “Turbulent lineages to shifting thresholds”, which looks at both the individual and       shared human experience, as well as all the nitty gritty things in-between. The event will include                                                                                                  sneak peak performances from three of the curious new works.

Professional Development Workshop:
RESPONDING TO SITE with Rod Price
12.30 - 4.30pm Saturday 29 June @ Birdsland Reserve 
Rod is a multi-disciplined artist working primarily in the field of sound design. His practice is based on a constant investigation into the different approaches both within and across music and sound design, and the practical implementation of such ideas in a variety of formats, media and products.  This workshop takes artists of all mediums through an interrogation of site as a provocation for making art. If you are interested in participating, contact hello@hillscenelive.com

Announcing the 2018 theme

As artists we question ourselves and the world deeply. We look in any and all spaces to find the potential seeds of what is to come. We remain curious, open to the possibilities - we consider ideas that are as yet unformed, raw concepts to be distilled, slowly turning, filtering what rains down and bubbles up.
In selecting our theme for 2018, we are interested in the idea of a radical shifting space. The feeling of something dark, heavy, murky. Grace, and malice. The brutality of nature. Immersion, in something uncategorized, unknown, nuanced… listening in, deeply, so we can interpret it. Together.

So we make art. Find ways to connect the nodes, and build resilience. The surface is not satisfactory - it is more interesting underneath. Subterranean activity. We dig down to draw it up. What is concealed, buried? What is this culture, society, landscape, ecology that is growing? How do we do this?
