fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

Co - Lab - Dance Performance and a series of photographic works in 2014



EARLY 2014
Co-Lab : Remnant Dance/Photographic Exhibition
Visual artist, Amanda Humphries has generated a series of photographic works responding to the Remnant Dance artists in action.  Inspired by the ephemeral nature of dance as a medium and the philosophies behind the performances, the images play with choreographic concepts; in a still medium. This is a collaboration exploring expressive possibilities across platforms, taking into consideration ideas about connection and sensory engagement.
The Co-Lab Exhibition will raise awareness and support for the artists working on The Myanmar Project.Connection and collaboration are integral aspects of the Remnant Dance approach to working with the children in Myanmar. Sensory processes are front and foremost to connecting with the children and the stories they want to tell.  
The Co-Lab will celebrate the story of how a charity organization like MyKids can work in partnership with performing arts collective like Remnant Dance to tell the stories of impoverished children living in one of the poorest countries in the world: from the perspective of the children themselves. 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the photographic works will be donated to The Myanmar Project.  
Check back soon for more details of the Exhibition!
