100 CAPES. 100 STORIES.
In collaboration with Jessica O’Donoghue, Yunyu Ong and Pru Montin, the 100 stories will be taken composed into music, by the The House ensemble of emerging women artists.
While confined to their houses during the 2020 lockdown, the young women of The House interviewed 100 cross-age women remote, regional, metropolitan and urban communities in every Australian state. Audiences navigate their stories, held within red capes and interspersed with music composed by emerging artists. 100 Capes. 100 Stories will showcase the macro collective experience of Australian women through intimately told life stories.
SALT
Salt explores the inextricable link humans have to the ocean and to salt - a vital molecule for the equilibrium of life.
This is a hybrid performance installation that sits at the nexus of space, sculpture, projection and choral composition. This work reflects the fragility, certainty and strength of girls as they find themselves women.
