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.

Conversation with curator, writer, and researcher ANABELLE LACROIX about the project RADIO INSOMNIA, an all-night broadcast for night communities which is interested in the political and poetic forces of waking at night and asks: What is the potential of listening at night when wakefulness is embraced rather than endured?More info: https://insomnia.radio.fm We talk about the unsettling in the body and mind that keeps us awake; whether artists are especially prone to insomnia, the history of sleeping and sleep regimes, porosity between dreaming and wakefulness, the revolutionary prospect of the night time, and the specific type of listening that is available to us at these eerie hours.

Conversation with painter and performance artist KATYA PETETSKAYA whose solo exhibition 'Am I Nature' is showing at Blue Mountains Cultural Centre in Katoomba until 8 October 2023.
Katya Petetskaya’s works are made through gestural language and expressive mark making. The experiences that are stored in the body are translated into the large-scale abstract paintings that are left to feel alive, vibrating with energy. Her process-driven practice is led by the choice and use of materials, which she treats as collaborators who propose their own ideas and limitations to which she responds.
Katya’s current solo exhibition – Am I Nature – investigates the complex relationship between humans and nature, which we on the one hand feel a part of and equal to whilst also trying to overcome and master.

Conversation with visual and installation artist ELIA BOSSHARD about her project ‘ROOM STUDIES’ showing at Kronenberg Mais Wright gallery (Sydney) from 19 May to 10 June 2023.

Conversation with choreographer Sara Black about the contemporary dance work VALUE FOR MONEY showing in May 2023 at Riverside Theatres Paramatta, presented by FORM Dance Projects.
This work is Sara Black’s collaboration with a First Nations choreographer JASMINE SHEPPARD and it looks at the rift between the economic value of human life and the more intangible emotional and physical value of a person – bringing to attention the many ways these values are shaped by different cultures and contexts.
