MAKING TIME (2025)
In 2024 I went back into the studio (shed) and made some time. As a response to living and creating in remote settings, I developed an experimental exercise video series for an unknown internet audience. I'm yet to post the videos on the internet. Instead (artificial) personas from the videos and the theatre now engage with local communities through live participatory performances.
In September 2024 I worked on Djaara Country and connected with local artists Lz Dunn, Phoebe Robinson, Luke Hickmott, Briega Young, and Thembi Soddell. In April 2025 I will work in Naarm and connect with artists there. These communities help to shift the project into new and dynamic territories.
The project started from a place of alienation, in the shed, and as a sort of bad joke about becoming a YouTube personality. The title is also a joke but I'm taking it fairly seriously.
Making Time is produced through the PunctumXDancehouse On Residence program with support from Bendigo Venues & Events and La Trobe Art Institute.
