PERFORMANCES

Audiovisual Performance: THE LOVE OF THE SUN
Based around five poems from Matt Hetherington's poetry collection, The Love of the Sun (Recent Work Press 2018), this live video-poetry-music-performance features Claudia Larose-Bell, a professionally-trained actor and former lead player with the Adelaide Theatre Company in Australia, with Matt's vocal performances forming part of the music soundtrack, composed by electronic musician, Steve Kelly, from the UK. His tracks also feature in a number of Marie Craven's poetry films over the past five years.

FLOODTIDE by Ian Gibbins
floodtide envisions a city after climate change has produced major rises in sea-level. What would it look like? How would the citizens cope with the new circumstances? What would happen next?
The composition process making the video was very complex. Nearly every scene has been composited from multiple sources, requiring more than 500 individual sequences from original footage filmed around South Australia, Victoria and Queensland, Australia. Each scene required matching of lighting intensity, colour and direction, as well as wind direction (in clouds, water, trees, etc), atmospheric haze, perspective, scale and more. Thus, in most scenes containing water, footage of the sea has been added to the landscape or cityscape. Similarly, nearly every sky and cloud bank has been composited from mixed sources. Almost none of the building skylines is from a single location.

I-DenSity by Vasso Georgiadou
A performance piece coupled with video art, exploring the quest for identity, when the familiar changes, transforms into something new and the old fades away from memory. Inspired and affected by the experiences of third culture citizens.
