remain receptive

2017 festival theme:
'...because we don't know what it is yet'

Immerse invites audiences to experience and interpret the immediate landscape based on sonic information recorded and presented from that particular location. This project offers a way of interacting with the surrounding environment, both natural and urban, while revealing the issues and conflicts associated with these dynamics.

1873. In an abandoned shepherd’s hut, two strangers meet. He has spent 10 years wandering the bush, trying to escape a mysterious crime; she returns here time and again to secretly draw her lost child. Each has a need of the other – but how can the unspeakable ever be forgiven?

Audience and performers meet with places, viewpoints, surfaces, nooks as zones of energetic and cultural significance. Birdsland as a site, and the people gathered there, act as the conditions for the dance and movement improvisers. As the group and performance progresses an accumulation of affect and experience develops that constitutes the 'body' of the (as yet unknown) performance.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we live, work and play, the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
