November
SHE IS RISEN, Collaborative Installation
Chapel Gallery, Abbottsford Convent
NOV 25 & 26th
When our agency and sexuality trouble society, how far do we have to fall? We observe how constraints imposed on traditional femininity break us and can be broken apart. Emanating from a site-specific exploration of the Abbotsford Convent spaces, this mother-daughter-friend collaboration explores the systematic institutionalization of the political female body. Coming together and telling our stories is radical and powerful. Using images, texts, audio and movement, this exhibition is about collective storytelling as a way of rising above the shame imposed upon us.

April
Circling the Brink: Convergence Two
Sunday April 17th (11am and 2pm Performances)
Circling the Brink - Convergence Two is a walking tour of movement, music and installation performances set in the beautiful landscape of Telopea Gardens.
From spending time moving within the soft pine nest of the Casurina Grove womb – I was inspired to relate with the five She-Oaks as pillars of ancestral wisdom and story – connecting the Red Thread of the Maternal line. The choreography for this work was inspired through intuitive movement response and mirroring of the She-Oaks shapes and textures and further by the emotions that arise within me in their presence: a somatic archeology of lived and living experience.
