You are cordially invited to join us for the second iteration of ‘Gathering’.
Gathering showcases and supports the work of artist/organisers through: presentations, workshops, performances, a collective performance jam, and informal networking.
Gathering is a celebration and a consolidation of performance artist-led culture, grounded in discourse and embodied practice incorporating projects, organisations, relationships, expanding networks, potentials, intergenerational dialogue and learning.
Free tickets are available for all activities, subject to limited capacity and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
This event provides rare opportunities to learn about historic and current artist-led activity, to witness, to experience, to create, to network, to be embodied, and contribute to a welcoming intergenerational creative community.
