Progress Report is a solo performance about consumerism and waste. The work puts everyday decisions under the microscope to reveal seemingly contradictory, at times hilarious and often unbearable truths.
A hortative manifesto that boldly proclaims wasting waste is a waste, Progress Report exemplifies the imperative need to transform the value of garbage.
With this latest work, long-time collaborators Alison Currie and Alisdair Macindoe delve into their mutual interest in objects and subjects in performance.
Progress Report features an ever-evolving stage design by Meg Wilson, subtle and impactful sonic worlds created by co-sound designers Sascha Budimski and Alisdair Macindoe and is delicately performed by Cazna Brass.
Progress Report features several cubic metres of industrial plastics that have been intercepted midway through their recycling process. The work mirrors a dynamic state of change, reflecting this intercepted process, where objects, performer, text and choreography are in flux.
The Substation galleries, bar and bookshop will open one hour prior to the performance. Latecomers will not be admitted.
ARTIST TALK
This performance will be followed by an artist talk (approximately 30 minutes), Auslan interpreted by Auslan Stage Left.
