Conversation with dancer and choreographer JASMIN SHEPPARD about PREPARING GROUND – a new dance work that invites us to join First Peoples' care of Land as an urgent act for our shared future. PREPARING GROUND is a First Nations-led dance work co-directed by pioneering indigenous artist Marilyn Miller, alongside Jasmin Sheppard and Katina Olsen. It dances of the future Future—a world where care for Country and community continues generationally. It reminds us that our survival depends on an enduring relationship with the land, and that the path forward is one we must walk together. More about this work: https://www.blakdance.org.au/articles/preparing-ground Also featured on the show, a music from SOUND THE ALARM, a 16-piece ensemble led by double bassist Clayton Thomas, in response to the genocide in Palestine. The track was recorded during their live performance at Johnston Street Jazz (June 2024). The music is a composed improvisation, described by Clayton as “a sonic allegory and a simple way to collect human energy in the right place for the right reasons.” All the proceeds from the album go towards humanitarian aid in Gaza: https://claytonthomas.bandcamp.com Originally aired on Eastside Radio 89.7FM on 12 May 2025. The track featured at the very beginning is by Samuel Pankhurst who is a sound designer on PREPARING GROUND.

Conversation with artist THOMAS THORBY-LISTER about his solo exhibition SITE ACTIONS showing at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf from 9th of April. to 11 May 2025 SITE ACTIONS is an exhibition of site-responsive paintings that engage with the natural environment that surrounds Woollahra Gallery. The landscape acts as an active participant in the creative process, with elements such as rain, wind, sun and water leaving marks on the sheets of linen, which are eventually rendered in subtle monochromatic tones to reflect the natural hues of the environment. Allowing the natural forces to shape and imprint their textures onto the fabric, Thomas Thorby-Lister relinquishes a part of his agency to give a greater voice to nature and engage in the collaborative process of ‘making with' more-than-human.

Conversation with choreographer and dancer EMMA HARRISON about HIGH OCTANE, her latest choreographic work premiering at Campbeltown Arts Centre on 27 March 2025. HIGH OCTANE is a super-charged dance work that reflects on the forces that drive us. This electrifying performance challenges us to rethink our relationship with success, power, and the relentless pursuit of more. In a world fuelled by competition, HIGH OCTANE takes us on a high-speed ride through ambition, self-identity, and the price of making it to the top.

Conversation with artist Carolyn Craig about their most recent solo exhibition – ALGEIC INTENT – on at Firsdraft gallery (Sydney) until 15 March 2025. ALGAEIC INTENT investigates the ways in which Algae thrive in the wreckage of capitalism. The work intermingles breathe, sound, image and desire through diffractive echo, to leak affect and challenge conventional narratives around social responsibility that isolate bodies as discrete entities that sustain the meritocracy myths of capitalism. Carolyn's practice operates through conceptual ideas of how power is embedded within material exchanges – between bodies, objects and at a quantum level. They see material practices as a relational act connected to political spaces and the broader arts ecology, and have founded artist run space SCHMICK Contemporary in Haymarket with this ethos in mind. Carolyn is a lecturer at the National Art School, and a member of research group Intermedial Composition Network at the University of New South Wales.

Conversation with performance artist Alan Schacher who works across the terrain of dance and installation, with an interest in architectural experiences and the performativity of public space. His performances “attempt to eke out the essence of site, materials and objects in relation to and with the performer's body, the situation, and memory of place.” From Friday 27th to Sunday 29th of December, Alan will take a performative drawing residency at Drawspace gallery in Enmore. The project is titled CHASING SHADOWS and in this residency, Alan will capture the outlines of shadows and reflections as they fall onto and into the DRAW space.

Conversation with walking-artist and curator MELINDA HUNT talking about the group exhibition WALK WITH ME, taking place at Drawspace in Sydney from 28 November to 22 December 2024. WALK WITH ME gathers nine local and international artists-researchers who utilise walking as part of their practice, encountering and mapping the walking sites and terrains through the medium of drawing. These drawings are not only reflective of the sites seen, but also the sites felt or experienced through the multisensory phenomena and the biodynamics of the walking body. Some of the projects included in the exhibition also foreground responses to habitat loss and species extinction, connection with urban ecologies, and the colonial project.

Conversation with artist Belinda Yee about her coming solo exhibition INCREMENT at the Wentworth Galleries (Pitt St, Sydney) 7 to 10 November 2024. An exhibition of large-scale drawings, plus a live movement-based performance, INCREMENT explores the notion of temporality as reflected through the cold stone media – such as marble, graphite, sandstone – and soft tissues of the human body. Belinda's work stands as an embodiment of time passing, with fugitive materials that reflect the fragility and impermanence of existence itself.

Conversation with the Artistic Director of The Living Room Theatre, Michelle St Anne, about their latest work THE SEEPING WOMAN. The LIVING ROOM THEATRE has been in existence for more than 20 years and is known for giving voice to the unspoken and unseen. They create works that are non-linear and composed through movement, light, sound, and atmosphere – rather than the rigidity of the given language. In making the Living Room Theatre works, Michelle St Anne often reaches out to collaborators who come from diverse art disciplines. This time – for The Seeping Woman – she is collaborating with digital artist LINDA DEMENT, dancer ANCA FRANKENHAEUSER, and musicians MARY RAPP & NIKI JOHNSON. The Seeping Woman is described as a site-specific work that focuses on gestures both human and digital held within the seepage of fluids, fabric and observations.

Conversation with choreographer and dancer Emma Harrison about her solo dance work Wolverine, showing as part of 2024 Sydney Festival. Transformation, eruption, and melting of rage and joy - Wolverine sits between dance, cabaret, and performance art to explore and subvert feminine archetypes, mythology, wolves, pop culture, and self-defence. We talk about many layers of the work - from its cinematic influences, to the relationship to the moon and deep blue, skin and fur.

Conversation with Lleah Smith about the project FUTURE SCHOOL developed with Year 3-6 students at the Kandos Public School as a creative re-imaging of the traditional classroom, followed by the experiences of 'home-schooling' during the Covid-19 lockdowns. FUTURE SCHOOL is a framework on how to work with young people so their voices and opinions are heard, valued, and incorporated into the decision making processes. It is a project that builds and develops young people's confidence, questions the hierarchies of knowledge and the function of the school within the community. FUTURE SCHOOL was presented as part of the 2022 Cementa Festival in Kandos NSW, on the Wiradjuri country where my conversation with Lleah was recorded.
