After successful performances of ‘Shima’ at Underbelly Arts 2011 Anna Kuroda and I are installing a variation of the work at At The Vanishing Point in Newtown, Sydney. The opening is tomorrow night (Thursday, 6pm – 9pm), with a special live performance by Murasaki Penguin, then the exhibition runs Thursday – Sunday 10am – 6pm until the 7th August.
The waving shimmer of light on water made by sun & wind. One moment, nothing. Another, floating. It is like a zebra stripe. Murasaki Penguin’s ‘Shima’ is a dance/sound/projection-mapping work exploring 島 (shima – island), shimmer & feelings of home.
Come and see my new collaboration with Japanese dancer Anna Kuroda at the Underbelly Arts festival on Cockatoo Island, Sydney this Saturday 16th July. We have performances at 5:45pm, 7:15pm and 9:30pm.
