FLIGHTY COLLECTIVE

Flighty will be developing and presenting a performance: part aerial, part video and part soundtrack against a wall in the Carriageworks foyer. The group is looking forward to experimenting with some unique and evocative combinations of aerial acrobatics, sound and vision to create a dreamscape of flight and solitude. Artist Ange explains that: “We are interested in exploring the interior spaces that we occupy through our aerial practice. There’s a tension that exists between a kind of meditative awareness of breathing, and the pain and exertion that is central to a lot of what we do. So we will be using the breathe and heartbeats as a means of mapping that tension.”
