Curatorial Program

The Circadian Cycle
By Gary Stewart (Australian Dance Theatre) 
Using the dancing body as a metaphor, The Circadian Cycle examines morphology, biological rhythm and animal behaviour. The film charts a day from sunrise to evening, moving through cycles of nature, from nascence and awakening to predation and death.

Etch
By Abby Warrilow (Scotland) 
A girl hikes across remote moorland, she discovers is a long abandoned school hall. Her feet trace, etch and carve in circular movements, creating marks in the layers of dirt. Her body contorts. She throws herself in controlled but frenetic choreography.

Ali
By Rain Kencana (Germany) 
Two brothers leave their father behind in his adopted German domicile. They embark on a soulful journey through their own world of childhood memories in Anatolia dancing between this world and the beyond and reveal a dark secret.
Pretty Ugly
By Red Cor - Corina Andrian (Romania) 
I was born.
I was born. It was not my choice to come into this world. But it was. I was passive. As I grow, I am deprived of all the things that make me beautiful, my hard edges, my imperfections, my grimaces. I am forcefully dispossessed. They belong to me. They belong to me. I have become poor. I have nothing. Caca-capitalismo
By Jonathan Homsey (Australia) 
Caca-capitalismo is a comical meditation on our internal monologues directly inspired by the fight for resources driven by capitalism and hoarding. Inspired by real life Karen stories during COVID-19, this accessible fotonovela takes the absurdity of ignorance and cranks the volume up. The work is audio described in Spanish and English and is captioned in English. To present this work both languages should be shared for people with low vision.
