2019 Programmed artists:
AARON WHYMARK // CHIMERA // An exploration of the ‘Ritual nature of Burning.’ Encounter / witness / participate. Be a part of this imaginative and fantastical fire experience inspired by the natural surrounds. A theatrical exploration of ritual and revelation as the sculpture becomes the fire.
BRIGID MORGAN // KINTSUGI MAMA // Embracing the overwhelming challenges faced in her first year of motherhood, Brigid Morgan
explores the transformative Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi by performatively celebrating the act of ‘golden repair.’ This image-based durational performance ritual reflects the beauty of imperfection and acceptance of being flawed, while under the presence of diary entries from that first year, shared through recordings chosen by the audience in an interactive surround-sound environment.
CHAMPAGNE GLITCH // THE PANDORA PROJECT // is an interactive installation work, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationship to contemporary global issues. Through sculpture, new media, and motion-sensing technology, this feminist reclamation of Pandora's myth celebrates human curiosity and our willingness to 'lift the lid', on complicated problems.
CHERYL HO & SZE MIN // HILLS // is an interactive Audio-Work, using audio to transcend time, place and history, audiences
will experience the timeline of GIRL and her ancestors. They will delve into where they are from,
where they have been and where they may have to go.
DANI-ELA KAYLER // THE UNQUIET // is a dance-theatre work in three parts. Exploring the somatics of grief, anxiety and the
discomfort of change. A visceral, playful, intimate solo that makes visible inner landscapes.
GULSEN OZER// JUST LIKE YOU // In my dreams I am like you, like her, like him, like my best version of me. Just like you is a precarious dance between self and others.
KATHLEEN RENEHAN // YES? // The piece is called "Yes?" An exploration of setting and situation. Carrying on, coping and participating amid panic...
KATIE LOHNER // MORE CHEEEEEEEEEEESE! // MORE CHEEEEEEEEEEESE! is a spoken word performance by Katie Lohner about an intimate human act, one of tradition, isolation and addiction. Eating! Come join this heartfelt, dynamic and comical feast of storytelling.
LOST BOY CIRCUS // RE-WOMB // Re-womb is a semi-improvised physical theatre piece exploring the stages of life before birth. Inspired by transpersonal psychology and psychedelic states, this ensemble explores the fragile human condition and the initiations that we all must endure to enter and exit this realm. Journey into the soft wet strange place between worlds, and get born.
LUNA MROZIK-GAWLER // FLIGHT PATH // There are bodies missing, the skies are emptier than they should be. The vital ecological role played by flying insects is slowly going unfulfilled and the consequences for all life, are dire. The insect apocalypse is underway. Flight path is a participatory live art work in two parts. Located in a speculative future after ecological collapse, it is an invitation to imaginative solutions, tactile maps, and contemplative kinship models. This is a collaborative work between the artist, the participants and the site. After all this, how will we begin again? Come and contribute to path.
NINA MASKIELL // FUTURE VISIONS // is a sonic landscape inviting you into a world where sound, colour and texture
intertwine. It is a glimpse into the future where the artificial and digital mimic the natural world in
peculiar ways.
PENNY ATKINSON // BLUE SPHERE // In this multi-dimensional work, the participants become the performers. The work travels across
the beautiful Karwarra site in a journey through time and space which explores threshold change and its consequences.
AIM NATTHA SANGBOON & PHUONG // CHAMELEON GIRL // Follow Chameleon Girl as they adapt to pulsating drum rhythms that constantly shift and change. As she moves, the sounds she makes will be recorded live and sculptured into improvised
melodies
THE CONTINGENT // OUTERMOST EDGE OF SLEEP // Outermost Edge of Sleep is a new live performance project from The Contingent, focussing on the nation we call home. Join them as they create a live improvised work where the images will stay with you long after they have departed.
