Current Work
I am currently working on a new solo performance and installation piece called Of The Causes Of Wonderful Things. The piece is about five children who disappear and deals with darkness and what it means to accept the unacceptable. The work has had a script development at Fraser Studios as part of Off The Shelf, a stint of rehearsal space at the Redfern ARI (Artist Run Initiative), Bill & George, and we just finished a residency at The University of Sydney. I have been building dioramas and am playing with the idea of close up seeing, forensics, viewing the same event from different angles, the ambiguous and the mysterious. I am working with the possibility of making the show in two parts - an installation a bit like one would find in a museum with lit boxes and audio in headphones for audiences to interact with as they choose, experiencing the work in a fragmented, non-linear fashion, and a performance that would involve the dioramas and a more physical realisation of character and story in the worlds that people had already spied in on. Of The Causes Of Wonderful Things will be showing at Brisbane Festival’s Under The Radar in September and Sydney in November 2010.
