Chicks on Speed | I’ll Be Your Body Instrument | Liveworks 2019

For Liveworks festival at Carriageworks 2019 I was invited by my friends Alex and Mel from Chicks on Speed to join them in the development of this performance piece called ‘I’ll be your body instrument.’ Quite possibly one of the most fun and insane weeks of my life, I helped out by being a human body prop dancer, composing music and compiling their video content to put together this frantic multimedia show. I even tracked down Extinction Rebellion in Sydney and got them to invade the show. Epic times.
