Down Trodden Punk unearths the insidious power of language as a tool of oppression, drawing stark parallels between the divisive practices within the ‘White Australia Policy’ and the 16th century clergy in the Philippines. The historical Dictation Test and the elitism of Spanish language shows discriminatory rhetoric of government policies revealing the shared thread of control through language.

How Much Of You Is Repetition? is a surreal dance piece that delves into the quirky and nonsensical facets of ‘dysregulation’. A theatrical loop, the performers navigate various emotional embodiments, offering an exploration of the human psyche's response to trauma. An evocative journey through the absurdity of healing.

Brianna Kell

NOW / AGAIN is a thought-provoking performance piece that delves into the intricate relationship between time and human connection, both for the individual and collective. Multiplying perspectives, this work seeks to agitate the relationship of connection through time.
