Meredith Connie and I have been offered a Bundanon residency in April 2023. We have been collaborating through 2022 and are thrilled to have this time to immerse ourselves in the creative and historical environment of Bundanon.
Our performance/sound collaboration is a ‘making in place’. Through a practice of embodied attunement, our process attempts to break the spell of dominant narratives and allow a re-enchantment of place. Attunement explores the connection of feeling between people and place, animated by the presence and experience of being alive to the world. The residency gives us the opportunity to generate performance scores whilst having the time to rejoice in the ‘eros’ of making with another in place. The entwinement of our colonial, planetary and personal/artistic histories offer us a unique time of creative reflection: This ancient country – our presence here now – how to be here and make together.
