Gertrude Street Projection Festival

GSPF Confluence

GSPF Confluence, returns for it's 15th year along Gertrude St. Nightly projections are enriched by our public program of events

For the last night of the 2023 festival we are excited to share two live performances on Gertrude Street. Starting at 6.30PM, Chantal Bala has created a performative piece intending to showcase the freedom of expression and authenticity through the lens of dance movement. She draws in different dance styles such as Afro dance, Vogue femme, Hip hop and her own choreographic style as a display of the development and explorative processes many artists go through before mastering their selves and their craft, much like the journey of life. The increase of energy and input into each choreography represents the enlightenment an individual goes through once they begin to let go, trust themselves and allow their conscious to just ‘create’. The climax, represented by her own choreographic style represents the art of self-trust, self-awareness and self-mastery.In the s﻿econd performance from 7 PM Juan Rodriguez Sandoval explores the tapestry of his artistic vision, from which a triangulating work emerges, drawing inspiration from the mesmerising dance of the flying pole (Palo Volador) in Guatemala. It stands as a catalyst, igniting the practice of futurist spirituality, ritual, dance, indigenism, immigration, and the celebration of transnational cultures and radical internationalism.As this creation takes shape, it invites viewers to step into a realm where imagination soars and possibilities abound. It is an offering, an invitation to explore the uncharted territories of the spirit, to bridge the gaps between cultures and histories, and to embrace a future where boundaries are dissolved, replaced by the harmonious dance of diverse voices and untamed beauty. In this work, the flying pole becomes more than a physical act—it becomes a symbol of transcendence, a conduit for connection, and a celebration of the boundless human spirit. It beckons us to reimagine our world and invites us to dance with the stars, guided by the transformative power of art and the unifying force of shared dreams.Finally, explore the other projection sites for GSPF 2023: Confluence with the full range of works by exhibiting artists and community projects one last time!WHERE: The two performances are at different locations. 6﻿.30 PM - 6.45 PM: Chantal BalaLocation: Chantal Bala&#x27;s performance will be at the Atherton Gardens meeting place.7﻿.10 PM - 7.30 PM: Juan Rodriguez Sanndoval Location: Juan Rodriguez Sanndoval&#x27;s p﻿erformance will be in the laneway between Porters Paint and Foodworks on Gertrude Street.
