SEA OF LIGHT
With a UV torch in hand, set sail across a sea to paint your very own voyage in light. Steer ships that leave glowing paths in their wake.

WE WILL SLAM YOU WITH OUR WINGS
In We Will Slam You With Our Wings, the hunted becomes the hunter, the tamed controls, and the dying beauty takes her own revenge. It’s time to sing the patriarchy into submission.

Led by Elise Romaszko in her directorial debut, The BEAUTY Project is a pop-up catwalk performance that asks, ‘what is normal?’, ‘what is beautiful?’
BE HERE
On grounds of St David’s Park in the heart of Nipaluna/Hobart, Be Here is an outdoor dance work featuring meditative, sculptural movement created in response to the performance site.
