perception

i am currently working on a creative development of a new performance/installation work in collaboration with artist meg millband. we started this project early this year but with me going to perth etc has put the project on hold. now we are in the right time to continue from where we left it.

in may this year we submitted a grant application to the artsACT. successful applicants will be announced at the end of this month.

so.. meg and i are currently taking part of this ‘dance development project’ which is facilitated by ausdance act. its aim is to support local independent dance artists in their practice and creative process. the 5 week project involves mentoring by liz lea, studio space and open forums for other dance practitioners. the forum will allow us to share the process and progress of the work and involve them in our practice to encourage dialogue.

we found this ‘development..’to be a good occasion to work intensively on our project and also to meet and take part of other dance practitioners work in the ACT.

so what is our project?

the performance/installation is looking at textures and metaphors in material and movement. we will be exploring the relation between physical manifestation of memories and how material evolves through time.

our project is entitled ‘embedded’
