Opening Night Salon

OPENING NIGHT SALON

Friday 21 June | Goldies at 7PM | The Scout Hall 7:30PM

Step into an historic Scout Hall — a landscape of memory and form, where weathered chairs hold stories and Laura Altman’s curious constellation of pots and pans hum with potential.

In this charged space, Michelle St Anne moves — not with choreography, but through lived memory. She riffs through 25 years of text, laying bare a personal and political archive. Around her, a soundscape unfurls: Jim Denley, Daniel Raymond, and Alex Tucker conjure sonic incantations that echo and rupture.

And in the margins — the silent chorus: members of the LRT family hold placards reading Stop Killing Women. Not as protest. As invocation. As a cry, a plea, a reckoning.

This event features a vignette from OSTINATO, a new solo work with chamber ensemble that explores how we listen to violence — not just with our ears, but with our bodies. OSTINATO confronts the limits of language and the systems that keep women silent, using sound and performance to evoke what words cannot say.

This is not a performance. It’s a ritual. A remembering. A refusal to turn away.

Bring your sign. Bring your body. Be part of the ritual.

Featuring:
