LAST NIGHT A TRASH BIN SAVED MY LIFE
Choreography angel dust
The piece explores the intersections between queerness and trashiness as aesthetics that emerge from the margins. By deriving movement from objects and the idea of waste, we are going to indulge in the queer art of failure. Failing to comply with what is expected of us, breaking chains, like literal trash we find liberation in shedding meaning, disintegrating and mutating into every imaginable colour and form that exists out there. Get ready for some TWISTER baby!

IN MY BONES
Choreography Hannah Grace
In My Bones explores the process of reconnecting to our ancestral roots through song, movement and cooking. Inspired by the way sound vibrations facilitate bone growth, the group explores listening to sound vibrations in their bone tissues, and allowing the activation of their senses to reconnect them to their lineage.

STREET ME FREE
Choreography Keity Pook
We are the embodied unsettling surroundings.
We are the containers that carry the absorbed emotions of the streets.
We are the city exteriorization.
We are everyone's inattentiveness and everyone's attention.
