Calling for participants for a project with the Junction Arts Festival
Drinking Water
Sete Tele and Lisa Hirmer – Presented by Tasdance
The Drinking Water team of Sete Tele & Lisa Hirmer, are keen to enlist the services of local households interested in participating in an experimental performance art work. (Don’t worry it’s not as scary has it sounds!)
Some of you may remember Sete from his residency at Tasdance in April last year that culminated in a Studio showing of ‘The Island’, a layered 45-minute dance work that incorporated photography, sound, voice and props where, much like most of Sete’s work the audience members are integral to the delivery of the offering, being invited to participate, document and operate certain elements of the work through Sete’s signature gentle guidance. Well Sete is back this year with the Drinking Water project and a collaboration with Canadian artist Lisa Hirmer.
Drinking Water needs your help!
Drinking Water is a participatory installation dance performance work that encourages all communities to develop and to transition to new ways of sharing water.
Each household will be tasked with gathering or ‘harvesting’ water on/in their respective homes. The artists Sete and Lisa will personally visit each household in the lead up to Junction Festival to devise a water gathering process appropriate to each home, with local and environmental conditions taken into account. You will be asked to chart the ‘harvesting’ of your water over a few weeks and then bring your water to Tasdance on Sunday September 9th to celebrate and taste the water that everyone has collected. Then we will ‘dance’ the water to Prince’s Square to join the Acoustic Picnic at the Junction Festival where the water will be transferred into the Fountain.
If you and your household are keen to be part of this art work, please contact Tasdance at [email protected]
