30 Ways with Time and Space – Performance Space

Overview

Celebrating an impressive three decades of Performance Space’s work, 30 Ways with Time and Space is a free program of 30 performances spread out across the 12 days.

Impressively named Australian artist Agatha Gothe-Snape is transforming the public spaces of Carriageworks into a multifaceted performance arena, comprised of ever-changing plinths and platforms ideally crafted to showcase the program’s short and durational works. "The performers will respond to these minimal plinths with minimal needs, returning their attention to their bodies," says Gothe-Snape. "As the focus shifts from one station to another, the technicians’ role will be made transparent."

The series of daily performances will showcase well-known performance makers (celebrated names like Mike Parr, Lauren Brincat and Jon Rose) alongside exciting emerging artists working across dance, performance art, theatre, live art, sound and more. Celebrating the eclecticism and creativity of the last three decades at Performance Space, you can expect everything from sculptural collaborations, performances inside bubbles, deconstructed violins and acoustic storytelling.

30 Ways with Time and Space is part of the You're History season, something of a birthday party for Performance Space, but don't worry about bringing a gift. They're actually giving you the presents: wrapped-up pieces of performance, visual art, dance, music and more, celebrating their big 3-0. Also showing is Brown Council's ode to feminist performance artist Barbara Cleveland, the journey into mad methodologies in The Directors' Cuts, a creative send-off to analog TV and plenty more.
