Four Sites


Site-specific programme at Abbotsford Convent: four short works by four choreographers, experienced as an evening walk between venues. I was AV designer (projection) for Lee Serle's commission.

Audiences moved between four locations over one evening, each housing a new short work. The Convent framing put the body and choreography at the centre of the experience, with each artist responding to a specific site.

Context

Four Sites was part of Melbourne Fringe, produced by Sage Arts in partnership with Abbotsford Convent. The programme gathered four of Melbourne/Naarm's independent choreographers for one shared night of new work.

My role

I designed the projection layer for Lee Serle's piece — supporting how the work read in its venue and how light, image, and movement worked together in a non-traditional performance space.
