Sam Pettigrew and I met during the Felix Ruckert workshop ‘Tools - Impro Scores and Composition’ at Critical Path last year. Sam is part of the Sydney based Splinter Orchestra and the Now Now. I really enjoyed this jam and realize how mcuh I enjoy music/sound.

movement research practice with Rosalind Crisp

Over the last two weeks I have been working with choreographer and dancer Rosalind Crisp and seven Australian dancers/choreographers in a ‘movement research practice’ workshop held at Critical Path Sydney. Rosalind has invited us in to her vast “net” of frameworks, scores, tools and constantly asked us: what keeps you interested? what are you not allowing? We have had...

from second stage development to production...

On the last day of the residency we invited friends and peers to see our work and to give feed back. Great conversations and interesting thoughts came out of that. They were engaged and felt drawn into our ‘intimate and remote’ performance. Many of them felt they could/wanted to walk amongst us and come closer to our screen’s (we are using laptop’s for skype and facebook)...

Friday week 1

It’s been a very creative and productive week. We developed 4 scenes so far. Matt (composer of Sarah’s previous works) came in today to watch and give feedback. It was interesting to hear how he read it and also what he was drawn to. Really helped us for next week I think. We finished with a local beer at Clancy’s Fish Bar on City Beach. I am truly loving this residency!!

platform: idact

I have been working on setting up this platform for the independent dance artists in Canberra. It all started as a result of a project that Ausdance ACT managed in 2009. Applicants propose a project which they want to develop with mentoring from dancer/choreographer Liz Lea. As Liz put her structure in place, it soon became clear that it was complex to manage. We all had very different needs,...

This is a research project for which i have applied funding from the artsACT. no place is a creative development of a new physical theater work looking at the boundaries between “the real” versus “the fictive”. the project is based on my interest in the psychology of perception. I am currently reading Dreams by Carl Jung. ...

Event 'Dance on the Edge' at BAC.

There was a group of 60 or so in the audience today which is pretty good! Dav and I opened the event in “silence” as Neil Roach Dir of Ausdance said, meaning no music. It went pretty good. I felt slightly preoccupied with the floor being a bit slippery. I liked our beginning, very casual standing next to each other. It was funny because Hanna Semler the director of BAC did an...

independent dance act

I have initiated a web platform for Canberra based independent dance artists. The idea of this platform is for it to function as a ‘shared space’ where we can display our work, discuss our artistic practice and future projects. It gives us the opportunity to be involved with peers’ artistic practice and to feel part of the professional dance community in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). My...
