In/scissions 2008 -- 15th-27th September

In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.

Meanwhile, Garden

Meanwhile, Garden- Performed by Amanda Castro, Vera Erenbourg, Carly Halse and Hayley Kasperczyk
Experiment Assistants and contributors: Mark McCullum, PJ Maske, Rose Turner, Joanna Burrows and Joe Fry

Studio 2- Friday 26th September at 7.30pm and
Saturday 27th at 4.30pm. (SOLD OUT)
On Friday from 4-7.30pm and Saturday from 1-4.30pm there will be 'experiments' in the space. Please note that the 'experiments' are not part of the performance but you are welcome to have a look around the space before the performance starts.

Meanwhile, Garden is a site-conditioned interactive container, merging live performance, film and sound to create an unexpected, ectopic, and yet strangely familiar hyper-landscape. Playing on the idea of the poetics of surrealist narrative, the piece echoes typical discourse in storytelling and uses parallel storylines (mnemonics) to create an experience entirely non-linear and multi-constructed. Where traditional narratives might switch between character plots to build suspense or create intrigue through synchronicity and coincidence, Meanwhile, Garden acknowledges the general overarching rhetoric of multiple interpretations of events (looking particularly at memory) - diverse narratives occurring simultaneously, and the ways in which people may interpret the installation differently.
Rejecting the submissive obedience expected of conventional audiences this piece will allow ‘participants’ to take a sensory and visually stimulating journey through the Meanwhile, Garden, exploring disjointed spatial universes of adventure and oddity.
