About the artists:
The Changelings: The Changelings is an experimental autobiographical performance about losing God and becoming your mother. With live sound design by interdisciplinary sound artists Liliana Occhiuto, Liana Molina and Ailsa Liu, together we are a band, The Changelings, with theatre-maker Charlotte Salusinszky as the monologuing frontwoman. The Changelings casts the conventions of the coming-of-age story in a spooky light. Because what’s more frightening than reckoning with motherhood and re-entering a pubescent crisis when you’re on the cusp of your thirties?
Frank Dwyer: Frank Dwyer is an emerging composer and sound designer exploring the sounds of human activity, and the relationships between these sounds through electro-acoustic soundscapes and installation-based work. He is interested in acoustic approaches to placemaking that may help foster sustainable urban ecosystems. Frank's 'Under The Wing' is a sound-centric performance lecture on inspiration, introspection, and - most importantly - birds. Through the lens of his past projects as an electroacoustic composer, Frank explores the little moments that make art work, the bittersweet clarity of hindsight, and why magpies are his undisputed favourite.
Jacqui O'Reilly: Jacqui O’Reilly is a Pākehā artist, researcher, musician originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, now based in Sydney on the unceded land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Jacqui is interested in the creative act as acknowledgement of what has happened in the past and what could happen in the future through attunement with the more-than-human world. Jacqui will present 'Landscape for Longing', a work comprising live vocal sampling, field recordings and acoustic instruments, mixed with synth and theremin: lulling a landscape back into being. This iterative performance and deep listening experience questions 'what it is we really long for'?
