2024 SUPERDRIVE PROJECTS
SUPERDRIVE is APHIDS’ artist development program, designed to accelerate ambitious ideas and support mid-career artists to take their projects to the next level. In a time of reduced programming across the sector, SUPERDRIVE is a strategic initiative that embeds APHIDS within some of the most innovative projects being developed today. By partnering with leading organisations and collaborating closely with artists as dramaturgs, directors, producers and critical allies, we remain at the centre of exciting art-making and sector transformation. Recent and upcoming projects include:
A solo dance work by choreographer and First Nations artist Amrita Hepi that explores the romance of beginnings and what happens next, when those initial thrills begin to fade and inertia takes over.
Created by Amrita Hepi Directed by Mish Grigor, Liveworks, Performance Space at Carriageworks and Fusebox Festival, Austin.
Long Prawn and friends are bringing the spirit of democracy sausage to Fed Square where the hot plate meets the stage in a Festival-long pop-up dedicated to the art of grilling – and where grilling meets art.
