    3 collaborations, 3 works, 3 spaces, 6 bodies on stage, creating magic in space and time together.

    Working it out
    Hamed Sadeghi and Cloé Fournier

    Iranian-Australian tar player Hamed Sadeghi and French-Australian dance artist Cloé Fournier, encounter each other on a black and white floor. Like in a game of chess, they are ready for the other’s next move. The tension and camaraderie are palpable. There will be sweat. Now is the beginning of something. Then, perhaps, the ending of that same thing. An ultimate note. A final move.

    Echo Mapping
    Jack Prest and Azzam Mohamed

    Singing traditional Sudanese melodies while maintaining a commanding stillness, street dancer/choreographer Azzam Mohamed builds with sporadic vocalisations and fluid yet intense choreography. His vocalisations are recorded and manipulated by Jack Prest, building into the sonic atmosphere. Echo Mapping is about knowing when to listen, when to respond, when to lead, when to follow, when to claim space, when to yield it and most importantly when to share it.

    Ngayomi/Shelter
    Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal and Ria Soemardjo

    Ngayomi
    /Shelter is a contemplation on water, displacement and hope. Encounter delicate sculptural objects, powerful movement and a mesmerising live soundscape in this intimate experience. Hosted by two wise Jamu aunties, audiences are gently and playfully guided into an intimate encounter with sculptural objects, Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal’s visceral and sensual movement, and Ria Soemardjo’s bespoke musical instruments and voice. Set in a dystopian future, in a newly regenerating landscape, Ngayomi/Shelter evokes a ceremony for the losses and horror of the past, grounded in hope for the future.
