Rinse

Supported by APHIDS through SUPERDRIVE

Where does the exhilaration of beginnings come from? The first stirrings of love, the first words of a scene, the discovery of a new country, the first bite of a meal? This solo, co-created by Amrita Hepi and Mish Grigor, is like a choreographic game that blends movements and words to explore beginnings and what comes after, once the initial surge of emotion begins to fade and inertia sets in. Hepi moves from one ending to another, weaving together fragments of her own life with the history of colonialism, art, feminism, and popular culture. Fascinated by the hybridisation of forms, this Bundjalung (Australia) and Ngāpuhi (Aotearoa/New Zealand) dancer and choreographer unfolds her research through movement, celebrating dance as a place of memory and resistance.
