Asking For It is a collaboration with the audience. it is a show in perpetual development.

Via live, emailed and written feedback, audiences ask for what they want from a show, and receive it - or not.

Taking to extreme levels the idea of of audience engagement, Asking For It navigates layers of consent while looking at notions of care, power and control within the audience / artist relationship.

Deep, Eternal Hum

Choreographed by Lisa Maris McDonell

Pohaturoa - a sacred, natural space, defaced to make way for a road. Cut, cut, cut all you like but the deep, eternal hum of the ancestors still beckons, never to be silenced.

Lisa Maris McDonell is a choreographer and performer based on Dharawal Country. A WAAPA graduate, Lisa has facilitated projects both within Australia and internationally over a 25 year period. In 2021 Lisa started presenting work under the title Proper Motion in an effort to provide opportunity and visibility to NSW South Coast based artists. Lisa is also a dance educator who has worked for many of Australia’s leading dance organisations. She currently teaches the full-time students at Joanne Grace School of Dance and across Sydney Dance Company’s various programs.

Irregular Atmospheres

Choreographed by @linda_luna_luke and performed in collaboration Kraig Grady

Our imaginations are rich with infinite images. Images swirling in the darkness of timelessness and space. Swooshing in, birthed into being, embodied for an instant, only to disappear again and be usurped by another image. Linda (dance) and Kraig (percussion) entangle sound and movement to find the joy of instability.

Linda lives in the Dharawal/ Illawarra region, NSW. Linda’s extensive career includes performances with De Quincey Co and Proper Motion as well as independent choreographers. She facilitates CO/MINGLING supported by Merrigong Theatre. Linda teaches performance-making at the University of Wollongong, where she is also undertaking a Doctorate of Creative Arts.

Kraig Grady, a Californian now living in Australia, is a composer renowned for his work with acoustic instruments of his own making or modification. For Irregular Atmospheres he will perform live with percussion instruments collected from Tibet, China and a Native American Drum reflecting his Chippewa Ancestry.
