Until Falling Things Work, my first full length solo work created in collaboration with the extraordinary artists @alicehcummins @jostenmyburgh and Andrew Stumpfel. Incredible lighting design from @j.covich.lx . Great SM @magicjakeball and co-produced @izzy_leclezio

Step inside a world where movement evokes memory, language pulsates rhythm, and transformation is something you can feel in your bones.

An intimate and arresting new work that confronts grief, solitude, love, and the enduring search for home with unflinching honesty and lyrical beauty.

At its centre stands a mature dancing body, boldly challenging assumptions about age, virtuosity, and visibility in contemporary performance.

Until Falling Things Work is an invitation to slow down, to pay attention, and to meet the world through presence and connection. It is a performance where dance, sound and language become vessels for change.

Development of ‘Until Falling Things Work’ has been supported by @strutdancewa Dance 2026 Seed Residency Program.
This Production is presented in partnership with @theblueroomtheatre

Matthew Morris – "Until Falling Things Work".

I folded into the development of this show to capture footage to make this film.

"Folding in" is how it feels to capture an artist's work. Like the work is an ocean, and I become a part of the ocean for a while.

It's marketing material that is the output, but I consider this "folding into" someone elses work, part of my own practice. And it doesn't feel like a choice to connect to the work in this way. taken in King Street Arts Centre by @mobilelifeforms

Post show greetings to each and every one of you,

I sincerely hope wherever in the world you are your footfall softens gently upon the earth.

We did it! We premiered Until Falling Things Work at The Blue Room Theatre to a wonderfully welcoming audience and a sold out season. I use ‘we’ as the collective to reference the creative team, who without their extraordinary collaborations this could not have happened, and to also hold all of you, the behind the scenes contributors with gratitude for your generous and continued support.

If I tell you honestly, on our first tech day of lighting plots, troubleshooting this and that, identifying us in the studio theatre and the general shenanigans of a bump in, Josten Myburgh came in to do a sound check. It was the first time we had heard their compositions with very good speakers and at volume. Oh my gracious I cried with joy and deep embedded emotion, overwhelmed, thankful and ready to let this creation come into play.

Throughout the course of the week the performance evolved, becoming more playful and intimate, nuanced and refined as the live audience accepted my invitation to share with me my personal narratives connecting our universal experience. It was truly liberating.

And thank you to all of you who came to the performance and opened up new conversations in the bar afterwards.

‘The show’s not over till the fat lady sings’ and Elvis has not left the building, just yet! And so the work goes on... the Australia Cultural Fund is still active and accepting donations. The last time I looked we had reached $9,325 which in itself is a marvelous thing however the target of $12,000 is still a short way off. I remain encouraged and hopeful to hit the target with the fund remaining open until the 10th June, 2026.

To donate link is in bio

What’s next? you might ask… the ideal would be to present the work again here in Boorloo/Perth, as well to tour it nationally and internationally. I’ve already had interest from the Balkans and I’m currently preparing a touring package to ignite the interest of potential presenters.

Wish me luck!

In Conversation with Matthew Morris - Until Falling Things Work 💙

In this edition of In Conversation, we shine a light on Until Falling Things Work, a new dance work by Matthew Morris, premiering at The Blue Room Theatre from 13th to 16th May. The architecture of our histories, the building blocks of our existence, is hidden between the cracks and visible to those who dare to see. This performance shares the stories of how one man’s life touches the world through poetic prose and dance. Moments in memory and time upend and suspend a life less ordinary. We caught up with Matthew Morris to dive into the creative process behind the work and what audiences can expect from this thrilling new production. 💥
