X Performances
Performers lie on busy intersections across four cities, making Xs with their bodies in the moments between traffic movements, the road alternately claimed and reclaimed.
connect: kaleidoscope
People unite in movements to create a large human kaleidoscope under a copper beech tree. As rain falls on their faces, they share in the experience of connection.
dada – when up is down
A group of healthy people including two children simultaneously fall to the floor during the opening of an art exhibition. The cause is as surprising as the fall itself.
World Domination
A fun and playful work parodying evil, greed and the desire to control the world. On a Melbourne tram during peak hour, a carriage full of passengers joined in with contagious laughter.
Study for Dazzle
A proposed work in which thousands of military personnel and civilians lie side by side on a Sydney oval to form a 120m naval ship in WWI Dazzle camouflage.
birds and clouds
Over 300 people come together in a German/Dutch border town as three model airplane clubs uniquely fly in formation, origami cranes are folded and large crane sculptures flown over the airfield.
Along white lines
During half time at a regional Aussie Rules Grand Final, over 400 fans ran onto the field and lay down alongside performers. Together they covered the lines of centre square with their bodies.
Sometimes awful things
A man dances a waltz with a lawnmower inside a maximum-security prison. Twenty palm trees tower above him. The waltz is filled with hope but underwritten with despair.
In silence and movement
Tradespeople carry large panes of non-existent glass through the crowds outside the Museum of Contemporary Art. The audience polishes the glass, smashes it into shards, carries their own panes.
