Cheeseball heading aside, thanks all who came and participated in Monthly Friend#3 'Dead or Alive' at PACT. PACT has been the stomping ground for many a young performer in Sydney. Sometimes I feel like it is my mother, artistically. (I don't know why it is gendered such, something about stereotypes of femininity and nurturing.) It is the mother of lots of young Sydney artists, making them my siblings, artistically. Like the wonderful collective that run Quarterbred, who are based at PACT and with whom we worked to present MF#3. I guess what I'm trying to say is, 'Dead or Alive' was kind of like a big extended family gathering, and our friends and public were invited. (Seems cheese and convoluted metaphors go hand-in-hand.)
Enough! What actually happened? We want hard facts. Photographic evidence.
Funny things happen when all these works come together, effectively forming an impromptu dialogue. Sophie Webb (above) merged her self proclaimed 'mainstream' tendencies, with everything she could remember about performance art.
Jane Grimley is performance art.
Nick Sun, everyone's favourite comedian blends Performance with stand up comedy.
These are from my (Meg's) piece. I asked people to put messages in bottles and later set up a dialogue with them on stage.
Thanks to Sarah Versitano for the photos. Coming soon: Monthly Friend #4 POP, at Serial Space, 20th November. Don't get confused, it is a Friday.
