30 MAY - 8 JUNE | THEATRE WORKS COURTYARD
Sea Symphony
VENUE
Step inside. Shift your attention to nuances of light and sound, and travel beyond your senses
Celebrate the sea as a unique connector of us and our stories.
A wooden phone box, invites you in. Once inside, take a seat and close the door. Soft light spills around you. A soundscape ebbs and flows.
A mix of audio/video installation, vocal manipulation, and verbatim conversation featuring the award-winning Rawcus ensemble, Sea Symphony celebrates humanity and the natural world. Listen with your eyes, see with your ears: at once local and global, present and remote.
Step inside … and be transported.

Our AT THEATRE WORKS program is for artists, companies or works that align with some but not all of our values as an organisation. We co-present these works with the independent artists and organisations. Works within this programming stream receive marketing support, technical support, free venue use and a generous box office split but largely we give them the keys and get out of their way.

MEET THE ARTIST -
Kate Hunter and Rea Dennis
Kate is an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, improvisation, painting, and sound. Performances include Memorandum (Theatre Works, 2014) The Waiting Room (with Born In A Taxi, 2010-2015) and Earshot (2017-2019), described as a ‘funny, hideous and thought-provoking’ by The Age, and listed as one of the best stage performances in 2019 in The Saturday Paper. Kate is currently Senior Lecturer in Art and Performance at Deakin University.
Rea is a performance practitioner whose works explore ways in which nature and the outdoors are at the centre of the experience. Recent participatory and socially-engaged works include Feeling Nature (National Design Week Geelong 2021), River + Stones (immigration Museum 2016), Moving Out of Door (2017), I am Stone (European Cultural Centre 2019) and Field Trip to the Future (Platform Arts Geelong 2022). Rea is Associate Professor of Art and Performance at Deakin University.
