🧏♂️ Mikey Webb, the @AuslanStageLeft interpreter should become an honourary member of @TISM1982 after his exemplary performance at @MONAFOMA . My favourite bit was during "Defecate On My Face". I’ve never laughed so hard, watching him weave his magic on the side of the stage. ❤️⚡️🐓

Name another city where you can cop a concert like this in surrounds like these under the watchful gaze of the world's longest single-span chairlift. We'll wait. (Thanks, Launnie.)
They’re back. Morning Meditations return, lead (down south) by artists from the Shruti Sessions, extending their collaborations and experiments in the direction of whatever ‘meditation’ means to them.
They’re free, and kick off at 9am ('til Sunday).

‘Collective exhilaration’ is the goal of the Hiatus Kaiyote-scored Wayfinder from Dancenorth Australia. Looks like they’ll get there.
Happening tonight and tomorrow at the Theatre Royal, Hobart. Few tickets left if you want to get a little revved up.

An audio-visual extravaganza.
On a boat.
At the waterfront.
It’s free.
And it’s even showing on the eastern shore (Bellerive) after two weekends at Constitution Dock.
It’s Arka Kinari, showing from 8.30pm, Friday–Sunday each weekend.

There are plenty of opportunities to see what they cook up, from ticketed evening shows and Morning Meditations to open rehearsals and a little stint in Frying Pan. They’re even doing a slot at the Mona Sessions, oh my.

One of our flagship projects this year is the Shruti Sessions. A whole bunch of musicians from India and Australia are getting together to exchange, workshop and collaborate, mixing old and new and expected and unexpected and who knows what else.

Launnie, here’s a little taste of Dekoor.
*nab yourself a ‘consenting’ token on arrival, if you *really* want to get involved.

There’ll be people doing it again this year (no Peaches, sorry) so come have a peep / listen in, you must-voyeur, you.
Here’s a list of who’s in when on the website, if you hate surprises: https://t.co/Xp5MAgCXzy
