BLEACHED
Choreographed by @hannahhbrookes
An exploration of becoming more than you could ever know.
Hailing from Yuin Country, Hannah is a formally trained multidisciplinary creative and performer. Her creative practice explores the intersection between alternative music production and choreographic form. An alumni of both Austi Dance and Physical theatre and WAAPA’s undergrad and Honours programs, Hannah is now choreographing and performing between the South Coast and Sydney both independently, and as a part of Dance Makers Collectives Future Makers program. Her recent choreographic credits include ‘PLATINUM’ presented in uNCOILEd for Austi Dance and Physical theatre and MOVE FM with Dance Makers Collective.
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.
JOAN
Choreographed by @jacktuc
Searching for redemption in the darkroom, I put on my armour to face the night.
A work inspired by Queer nightlife culture.

This presentation of JOAN builds from jack's first development as resident artist in the inaugural @side.step__ program facilitated by @ellawahe
Deep, Eternal Hum
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.
