0809 and 0910

After a huge final six months wrapping key creative developments, initiating new projects, and a whole lot of producing work in 0809, Hydra Poesis is looking at a year of wall-to-wall art and performance making for 0910.

This is a big update so bullet points were a necessity.

  • new work created as part of the Trademark Manoeuvres project investigating the deeper nature of BOOMtime and the corruption of Home - check out video work from TMM#1 here
  • the wrap up of the Prompter One-to-One development featuring trials of the works unique teleprompter performance infrastructure and a range of experimental content.
  • the initiation of a new practice, applied research and producing arm for the company entitled Masters Of Nothing or M.O.N.
  • the beginning of a reinvestment in pure physicality in performance through the Remade program - check out dance experiments here

The program for the Year That Is 0910 includes:

  • Hydra Poesis director Sam Fox attending the Shanghai eArts Festival in two weeks as part of the WAsh delegation.
  • a 12 month creative development of the multi-locational theatre work Prompter Live Studio as one of three new works being supported by the West Australian Theatre Development Initiative
  • a new physical/performace/dance work to be performed at PICA in 2010 entitled Personal Political Physical Challenge featuring the superdynamic Paul Blackman and Rachel Ogle, excavated through the Remade program.
  • the ongoing production of artworks and performance as part of the Trademark Manoeuvres project - including TMM#2 currently in development by Sam Fox and dramaturg/collaborator Tomas Ford.
  • and the realisation of the Masters Of Nothing program providing mentoring, peer review, creative consultancy services to local artists and organisations, and the production of a new largescale community art project called The WildSTYLE Store with key partners DADAA inc and the City of Swan.
