Calendar 2022

Common Dissonance is a contemporary circus work exploring the struggle between traditional and modern modes of reasoning.

The performance imbues traditional and contemporary styles of performance with shapes, images, and styles of indigenous performance, rituals, and iconography.

Domenico de Clario's contribution to the Lorne Sculpture Biennale (Spirit of Place) consists of four performances. Three of the performances focus on the enigmatic presence of D. H Lawrence, Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling in Lorne, during a period spanning the end of the 19^th century and the beginning of the 20^th.

The fourth performance homages the life and work of Albert Namatjira, and begins at sunset on the full moon evening of March 18. 

Performance Three begins at sunset (7pm) at the Erskine rivermouth: A translation into keyboard sound of Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘Flowers for Lorne’, written following his visit to Lorne and the Erskine River Falls.

‘dwell’ will be a shared and collaborative experience of rewilding sculpture – as performance and trace. Multi-dimensional and collaborative, the work will be performed by different artists and performers.

On the final weekend of ‘dwell’, artist Rory Daniel will project a quiet and meditative video work, produced during the making of ‘dwell’, onto the mattering forms on the beach.

With light flowing and ebbing like the tide, the projection will beat to the rhythms of the sea, sand and moon, reflecting on place, trace and the absence of presence.
