Conversation with artist and writer Ju Bavyka about their latest work – REST YOUR IDENTITY – currently on at TILES gallery in Lewisham, Sydney (till 20 April 2024).

REST YOUR IDENTITY is a part of Ju Bavyka’s long-term project ‘On Rest’. This most recent iteration involves a performative facilitation practice that leans on meditation, where you are invited to identify parts of your identity that require a little rest, revision, and kind re-integration on better terms.

Conversation with the Artistic Director of The Living Room Theatre, Michelle St Anne, about their latest work THE SEEPING WOMAN.

The LIVING ROOM THEATRE has been in existence for more than 20 years and is known for giving voice to the unspoken and unseen. They create works that are non-linear and composed through movement, light, sound, and atmosphere – rather than the rigidity of the given language.

In making the Living Room Theatre works, Michelle St Anne often reaches out to collaborators who come from diverse art disciplines. This time – for The Seeping Woman – she is collaborating with digital artist LINDA DEMENT, dancer ANCA FRANKENHAEUSER, and musicians MARY RAPP & NIKI JOHNSON.

The Seeping Woman is described as a site-specific work that focuses on gestures both human and digital held within the seepage of fluids, fabric and observations.

Conversation with choreographer and dancer Emma Harrison about her solo dance work Wolverine, showing as part of 2024 Sydney Festival.

Transformation, eruption, and melting of rage and joy - Wolverine sits between dance, cabaret, and performance art to explore and subvert feminine archetypes, mythology, wolves, pop culture, and self-defence.

We talk about many layers of the work - from its cinematic influences, to the relationship to the moon and deep blue, skin and fur.
