United States v Billie Holiday + Demi Lovato - Dancing with the Devil We review these two queer popstar survival stories and hype three surviving cinema events. Static Vision have announced their film festival Dreamscapes: A Static Vision Film Festivaland it will run from May 14th to 16th. Satoshi Kon's Paprika looks like a highlight and low key Wes Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street is going to give the festival an exciting throwback. New Jersey DJ UNiiQU3 is opening the festival.

Amrita Hepi is a first nations choreographer and dancer from Bundjulung (Aus) and Ngapuhi (NZ) territories. Amrita trained at the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association (NAISDA) dance college and Alvin Ailey American Dance School, New York.As an artist she pushes the barriers of intersectionality and makes work that garners multiple access points through allegories. Her practice at present is interested in probing ideas of authenticity, the perpetuation of culture, tradition, and a ‘decolonial imagination’ - questioning where this now resides.Her reach expands beyond the stage and includes public spaces, night clubs and various other forms and mediums including film, installation, text, sculpture and lecture. Her social media reach is also extensive, using those spaces to profile important conversations and her dance practice.Amrita has worked with Victoria Chiu, Marrugeku, Melanie Lane & Amos Gerbrahnt, Bhenji Ra and Force Majeure. In 2018 she was the recipient of the People's Choice Award for the Keir Choreographic award and was named one of Forbes Asia's 30 under 30. Amrita has also worked in various commercial capacities, having been commissioned by ASOS global to create and choreograph film works and has be featured globally in Vogue USA, TeenVogue USA, Instyle, Harpers Bazar and PAPER US.Amrita can now be seen at Sydney Festival , in Cement Fondu's second annual pairing of an esteemed International artist with an Australian early career artist. This exhibition presents a new video installation by Amrita, with a selection of video works by Adrian Piper.Amrita Hepi’s video installation The Pace (2018) proposes skipping as a new choreographic tool to draw upon the powerful connections between the skilful command of the body and rope with other social and cultural practices, particularly the First Nations art of weaving. You can find out more here.In this interview we discuss Amrita’s practice and where dancing originated, we discuss the role of dance in society and how to have difficult conversations, alongside a range of other topics.Summary of Amrita’s busy 2019 schedule:JAN -Sydney Festival, The Ropes: Amrita Hepi X Adrian Piper (at Cement Fondu) January 11 to February 24Arts Centre Melbourne, presenting A Call to DanceFEB/MARCH -The National 2019, new work The Tender - A performance installation commissioned by AGNSWWomadelaide - presenting Power Moves for Perilous timesDance Massive - Le Dernier Appel with MarrgekuCastlemaine Festival – presenting Deep Soulful SweatsMAYP.I.C.A (Perth Institute of Contemporary Art), presenting A Call to DanceJUNEThe National 2019 new work, The Tender, a performance installation commissioned by AGNSW (Performance 3)Theater Formen Festival Braushweig Germany, presenting A Call to DanceOrigins Festival London Southbank Centre, presenting A Call to DanceAUGUSTTour of Le Denier Appel with Marrugeku:- Tanz Im August - Berlin Germany- Theatre Challoit Festival - Paris France- TanzZurich Festival - Zurich Switzerland- Grec Festival de Barcelona - Barcelona SpainOCTNelson Arts Festival New Zealand + Tauranga Arts Festival, presenting A Call to DanceYou can find Amrita on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.This is the last episode of season 8.

Justin Shoulder is a performance-based artist, whose work cuts across performance, sculpture, dance and video. His performance work was born in the queer club scene, and has found a home in theatres and gallery spaces. Justin cites his experiences at Club Kooky and Club 77 as incredibly influential. The clubs became an escape from his job at the time, which involved editing photos. Justin’s work explores queer narratives that often connect with intercultural, migrant and spiritual experiences. His work is aesthetically beautiful with stunning costuming, mask and prosthesis that are used to create mythical type creatures that are activated through his body. His main body of work is known as the Phasmahammer, which is based upon queered ancestral myth. Justin is a founding member of queer artist collective The Glitter Militia and Club Ate, a gang of Asia-pacific sissies. Collaborating with a range of individuals that includes the likes of Bhenji Ra and partner Matthew Stegh, his work has been performed and exhibited internationally, including at AsiaTOPA, First Sight at Museum Macan, Shanghai Museum of Glass, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Performance Space, DARK MOFO, GOMA, National Gallery of Australia and Next Wave. Justin was recently announced as a nominee for the 2018 Helpmann Awards for Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production, for Carrion. Carrion is a work that has taken place in a range of settings from clubs to theatres. Carrion blurs the boundaries between animal, human and machine; drawing upon queer and ancestral mythologies and evoking a post-apocalyptic landscape rife with decay, where the human and the android have merged for survival. This season will include interviews with a range of performers and choreographers that disrupt the “normal” through their artistry including Luke George, Mette Ingvartsen, Philip Adams and Chase Johnsey.
