Forecast
This paper presents a series of responses from Western Australian based artists and scholars from a range of disciplines including: meteorology, science, education, social work, psychology, art and performance studies, to a year-long exhibition titled Forecast in Gallery 09 at The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). Forecast is a collaboration between AGWA’s Head of Learning and Creativity Research, Lilly Blue, Edith Cowan University’s Centr…
Relating to Difficult Weather through Creative Practice
In this paper we argue that performance and the arts invite a deliberate sensorial connection with the body and can support a bodily turn or return, in order to help artists, scholars and communities more broadly, better attune to increasing climate instability, through collaborative, supportive and reflexive storytelling. Drawing on the three “weather” symposia, the paper focusses on the second symposium which featured a keynote presentation by …
In Extremis
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, ‘in extremis’ means ‘on the point of death [or] in extreme circumstances; at the point of extreme hardship or suffering’ (2023). What does it mean to cal
On Invasion
We live in a world of unpredictability, fracture and powerlessness. Acts of violence, invasion and oppression, both seen and unseen, pervade all aspects of life and threaten the viability of the pl
‘Do We Need to Talk about Prince Harry?’
This cross-disciplinary response to the call for papers combines an interest in care as a heavily laden term in the current COVID-19 context, with a consideration of the ways in which the concept o
Stranger than Kindness
The cover image for this issue captures the nexus between the feminist roots of care theory and its more recent expansion to include ecological considerations. In 3, 2, 1, by French artist Camille
Listening in Three Acts
These three short pieces consider listening and the impacts of refusing to listen in different contexts. Act I engages with this process within the Academy and offers some ideas on how we, as scholars, artists, critics and teachers, might respond. Act II reflects on the deep listening evident in Nick Cave’s replies to his fans, in his Red Hand Files. Act III engages with Josephine Wilson’s provocation in response to Christoph Büchel’s Barcha Nost…

Necessity or Choice
Actors, Spectators, and “Vibrant” Objects
In contrast to much new media performance, Kris Verdonck’s ACTOR #1 does not attempt to accelerate time or to enhance the spectatorial experience by juxtaposing theatrical elements. Instead the work presents a three-phase meditation that strips back the tools and techniques of theatre to allow, or perhaps even compel, spectators to focus on a single element, to inhabit one state, or to consider a single idea at a time
Questioning the Relationship between Consumption and Exchange
The FCP is decribed by TheatreWorks as follows: "This multi-disciplinary, long-term research and development program in theatre, dance, music, visual arts, film and ritual has continued for six years, with laboratories consisting of classes, improvisation workshops and seminars
Stillness and intrigue in the north and sadness by William Yang
It might well be argued that William Yang's work is about landscape, broadly defined with social, political, geographical and performative referents. Yang navigates his way through landscapes of race, belonging and 'implacement', charting his experiences through his stories, that resonate and stimulate the spectator in response to this journeying
Theatre Works' Desdemona
“Interculturalism” needs to be expanded and redefined to include the responses of spectators as well as the work of artists. In what ways does Theatre Works' Desdemona, as seen at the 2000 Adelaide Festival, represent a “new wave of Asian production”? Or are such works disturbing evidence of the increasing erosion of the local
