This episode on Queering The Air, our co-hosts, Sasja Sÿdek and Shurthi, were joined by the performers of Temple of Desire to discuss their visually stunning dance-theatre production debuting in the first week of October as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. In this stunning piece, 16 dancers utilise their training in the classical Indian dance form of Bharatanātyam to explore a pre-colonial world where the divine and sensual harmoniously intertwine with splendor and strength. It is a celebratory realm where pleasure and joy (കാമ / kāma) are embraced as pathways to liberation (മോക്ഷ / mōksha).Rooted in a heartfelt acknowledgment of culture, tradition, colonial loss, and gendered oppression, Temple of Desire offers an uplifting journey that highlights alternative histories and liberatory futures. Rich in tradition yet subversive and unrestricted, this captivating experience guides us to a realm of profound beauty, euphoria, joy, and human connection. Temple of Desire - 4 & 5 October  un.NAMED Exhibition - till 20 September at The Motley Bauhaus

Yeah, Holly too. Come and heal your soul and reclaim your right to be whoever you want to be with My Queer Spiritual Entropy. Full of originality, chaos and colour, this fresh-out-the-womb solo show from British non-binary performer Holly Rowan is a vibrant and daring mash-up of clown, Butoh, spoken word, physical theatre, dance and song... available as an in-person performance.About the artist: Instagram- @hollyrowanarts Holly is an emerging non-binary, multidisciplinary artist and performer whose work sits on the bridge of comedy and personal tragedy. Through a quirky combination of movement and voice, they share vulnerable and personal stories as a means to create conversation about difficult topics and connect people with the core of their humanity. This is their first Melbourne Fringe and debut performance in Australia. They have previously co-directed and performed in London Butoh Dance Company's ‘IRREVERSE' for Wandsworth Arts Fringe in 2022 and was Stage manager and Choreographer for Lancaster Offshoots productions at Edinburgh Fringe ‘Peter Rabbit & Other Tales' 2015 & ‘Hunchback' 2016. Holly is also a facilitator for Queer Space Youth at Drummond Street Services.  ------------------------------- Sasja joined by Sophie Strykowski & Haz Lugsdin, another artists from the Melbourne Fringe Festival, who shared a discussion of their live performance titled "TWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT".  TWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT TICKETDates 05 - 13 OctTime 7:00pm (60 minutes)Venue Mycelium StudiosTWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT is a live performance work investigating the ways in which we look at another to look at ourselves. With ten years of deep friendship and chosen kinship, performance makers Haz Lugsdin and Sophie Strykowski embark on an intergalactic voyage to understand their interlocking selves.We all have a gravitational pull. The sun, a chair, and you. I felt that tug. Who put me here? And why are you here too?Haz Lugsdin (They/He) is a trans performer who relishes in gusto, ego and innuendo. Sophie Strykowski (She/They) is an actor and performance maker whose work sparkles fearlessly with a joyous curiosity. Together, they pastiche comedy, performance art, and unbridled joy to glimpse the life practice of world-building together.  About the Artists: Haz Lugsdin / Sophie Strykowski    Instagram - @sp0repunk_ Haz Lugsdin (they/he) is a trans performer making on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. Haz's experience is in devised and collaborative work, rooted in comedy, pastiched with drag, performance art, movement, wordplay and absolute buggery. Haz is invested in developing non-binary ways of making that refuse rigid performance structures; as explored in their three latest 45 minute works; Rising Damp: A Sporepunk unearthing of a queer utopia at La Mama HQ (2022), The (Sour Glitch) Two-Step Refusal at The Flying Nun by Brand X (2021) and 101101001: Dude Where's My Gender at The Giant Dwarf (2020). As a writer, Haz has received mentorship with ATYP as part of National Studio (2020) and Fresh Ink (2021). Haz's work relishes in the illegible and incoherent; centering play and pleasure. He uses performance to make sense of himself and non-sense of the rest. They have a distinct modus operandi of gusto, ego, and innuendo.  Sophie Strykowski (she/they) is a performance maker and actor from Gadigal, currently living on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people. Their devised work reflects their positionality as a queer person, with the intention to dismantle and reimagine perceived truths with earnestness and delight. Sophie has worked across a range of independent and professional stages in Gadigal, including Griffin Theatre and ATYP in Intersection: Arrival (2019), Q Theatre in Originate (2020), Kings Cross Theatre [KXT] in Natives (2022) and Rogue Projects in Taz v. The Pleb (2023). Her work plays with form, combining elements of movement, comedy and experimental theater to ask big questions about the self, love, sexuality and connection. Sophie brings these questions to an audience with sparkling fearlessness and joyful curiosity. ------------------------------- Charaf Tartoussi joined Queering The Air as our third and final guest artist for the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Marilyn Leder, Jewish lecturer, musician and comedian, turned 50 left her husband, and dipped her toes in the world of intimacy and sex on dating apps, discovering that men 10-20 years her junior were the ideal kind of suitors. After a series of disastrous dates with age-appropriate but dull suitors, Marilyn decided to drop her dating demographic to 30-40 years olds, discovering a world of curious, optimistic and fun men. Marilyn Leder has performed stand-up comedy widely in Melbourne as well as in Los Angeles at The Improv and The Comedy Store, where she likes to brag that Chris Rock once supported her (he actually pushed in before her set to test some material), and interned for Jason Alexander at NBC Development at Twentienth Century Fox, working on 'Seinfeld', 'Frasier' and 'Friends'. Currently at the Melbourne Fringe Festival performing her solo comedy show, "The MILF Next Door,' this is a candid episode of female empowerment, sexuality and humour.
