Petite Suite Host
Annabel Lines has eaten razor blades with seminal French circus Archaos, toted green fire as a glamorously dead mermaid, swung a bunch of hula hoops to crowds of thousands, danced her arse off with notorious potty-mouthed queen of queer electro-pop Peaches – generally bitten off more than she can chew and made a gourmet meal out of it. From cemeteries and sick beds to vast arenas and dreamy big tops, Annabel has sprinkled her version of hilarious beauty and uncanny vision across the seas. Now a semi-recluse and as weird and wonderful as ever, she returns to the corridors of Ace Hotel.
SHAMGODDS: DOWNTIME
Artists: ‘Shamgodds’ – Malcolm Whittaker, Nitin Vengurlekar & Matt Prest.
Shamgodds will perform seven-minutes of downtime funk, drawing once again on sports rituals, quotidian choreographic riffs, and a consideration of the ways in which our rest periods are continually commodified. In the overdetermined rest-space of a hotel room, the Shamgodds inhabit and move between images of repose, restlessness, fever dream, perversion and tedium.
Two Bodies One Mind
Artists: Keila Terencio de Paula, Renata Commisso & Rudolf Hendrikx
“I wrote about it the next morning after that dream, and the morning after that, and each day after each dream… Am I actually awake? If it is not real, please wake me up, or stop manipulating me, let me find my body again”.
The Interruption
Artists: ‘Suspended Reality Dance Theatre’ – Caroline Mooney, Dorothea Csutkai, Robyn Simpson
What happens in your hotel room when you’re not there? Indulge your curiosities as Suspended Reality Dance Theatre reveals some secrets…
Quiet Revolutions
Artists: ‘Otherworld’ – Lucy Doherty & Hana Truban.
Step back in time to the 1970s queer liberation movement with ‘Quiet Revolutions’, an intimate dance performance that invites you into the once hidden world of a lesbian couple.
Attention is all you need
Artist: hosting
An intimate AI encounter that challenges perceptions of contemporary machine learning. A familiar computer interface, an unfamiliar procedure. Isn’t it nice to have a computer that can talk to you…
The Will
Artists: Vashti Hughes & Ross Johnston.
Sydney prices! Who can even afford a glass of wine? Let alone a mortgage. Time to check in with that distant elderly relative and remind them you exist. What “WILL” your future hold?
The Wetness
Artist: Rose Kingdom-Barron.
The wetness in you sees the wetness in me. Together we’ll tap into water, unblock ourselves and flow more freely within and to other bodies of water. Bring your clam-squad, it’s time to get wet.
