Vitalstatistix

Wasting waste is a waste. Dance as a bold manifesto.

Waterside Workers Hall

Australian premiere - PreviewPresented by Insite Arts and VitalstatistixDirected and choreographed by Alison Currie and Alisdair MacindoeCommissioned through Vitalstatistix’s Incubator program in 2019, Progress Report is a new 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.Progress Report brings together long-time collaborators, dance makers and multidisciplinary artists Alison Currie and Alisdair Macindoe, and their mutual interest in the place of objects and subjects in performance.Through their work they investigate human dependency on and intimacy with objects and how interactions between performer and object can convey tenderness, loneliness and isolation. The upcycled objects in Progress Report become friends, strangers, clothing, and environments, that can instantly be reduced back to packaging or rubbish.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.Collaborators – Meg Wilson &amp; Sascha BudimskiSoloists – Alisdair Macindoe / Cazna BrassImage: Sam Roberts7pmSome key information for you to know in advance:The bar is strictly non-cash/card only.Please note that all people entering Waterside will be expected to register their contact details prior to entry and numbers will be limited by social distancing requirements.
