SUMMARY:By a Thread
DESCRIPTION:Seven Australian acrobats and 30 metres of rope make up By a Thread heading to BPAC for one night only. \nTwo industrial pulleys and a heavy-duty sailing rope are transformed by the cast of ‘By a Thread’ to create a mesmerising work of aerial circus. By a Thread weaves virtuosic acrobatics and intricate choreography through moments of confusion\, hilarity\, romance\, playfulness\, fear and friendship\, uncovering the threads of connection present in all relationships. \nFresh from touring in Europe\, Canada and Asia\, By a Thread redefines contemporary circus with inventive aerial acrobatics and a truly unique physical premise. This highly experienced ensemble have pooled their knowledge and skills to create a show where classic techniques are used in expansive ways\, with the only prop onstage being 30 metres of white\, cotton rope. \nThe rope is a physical manifestation of the trust needed in any relationship\, acrobatic or otherwise. The performers use this metaphor for community\, to explore the give and take\, balance\, and dynamics of connecting with one another. More than mere bodies in space\, By a Thread is an exploration of trust 6 metres above the ground \n“At the core of By a Thread is a desire to share with the audience the trust implicit in ensemble acrobatic work. Circus is a powerful art form because what you see before you is actually what is happening. When you see someone taking a risk by hanging upside down from a rope that is held up only by other people\, there is no illusion or trick\, that risk is real and the audience can fell that.” explains Director and company Co-founder\, Charice Rust. \n“This is a work of art – if I could give it six stars I would.” – The Advertiser \n“An intricate and mesmerising piece of art.” ArtsHub

SUMMARY:Modern Biology
DESCRIPTION:Modern Biology has brought ‘plant music’ to the masses. Originally educated as a biologist\, veteran musician Tarun Nayar brings his passion for nature and sound together in an ambient project that is organismic\, immediate\, uplifting\, and deeply contextual. He uses modular synthesis\, home built synthesizers and other analog equipment to improvise with the natural vibrations of a certain place and time – via plant bioelectricity\, latent electromagnetic radiation\, and even the earth’s resonant hum. Trained from childhood in Indian classical music\, he uses the system of Indian raga to mold his musical choices for time of day and season. His performances are an effort to bring the listener into the present moment through vibration\, space\, and connection. \nHis videos have been viewed over 100 million times and amassed him over 1 million followers online\, and he has been featured by The Guardian\, LA Times\, BBC\, Genius\, Vice\, The Verge\, and DJ Mag among others. His recent albums have received editorial support on Spotify’s Music for Plants\, Deep Listening\, and Lava Lamp playlists. Recent live performances include Art Basel (Miami)\, MOCA (Los Angeles)\, New York Botanical Garden\, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. Tarun’s ‘Field Trip’ project is an effort to reconnect listeners to the natural environment\, especially in urban settings. Audiences assemble in a public park\, forage\, and then listen to music improvised from the bioelectric impulses of collected plants and mushrooms. Recent field trips include New York City\, San Francisco\, San Diego\, Vancouver\, and Toronto. In the fall of 2023 Modern Biology opens the Nobel Prize Museum’s Fungi Exhibition in Stockholm. \nTarun is passionate about protecting wild places and has committed the lion’s share of the proceeds of this project to supporting the natural world.

SUMMARY:Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Alysa Pires’ wildly successful theatrical ballet\, Macbeth\, explores the dark side of human nature.
