What is it about the beginning that remains intoxicating? Our persistent lust for the first rush of a romance, scene, canon, theory, relationship, meal or country. Created by extraordinary dance artist Amrita Hepi, Rinse explores the romance of beginnings and what happens next, when those initial thrills begin to fade and inertia takes over.

Rupture: all the stars unshining
BoneDirt
Everyday of the festival
Free
Created by pioneering experimental artists V Barratt, Linda Dement and Jessie Boylan, Rupture: all the stars unshining explores how symptoms of environmental and human ‘disorder’ can be seen as an appropriate response to personal traumas and global disaster. This relationship plays out across multiple screens as an affective installation, with occasional moments of live performance, placing Barratt’s body in direct conversation with extraordinary video footage of landscapes in states of transformation and flux.
A barrow, a singsing
Yuriyal Eric Bridgeman
Every day of the festival
Free
This major new commission by the Australian-Papua New Guinean brings together 19 large-scale shield paintings with sculpture, photography and installation, to create one of Bridgeman’s most substantial and ambitious bodies of work to date. Taking over the Carriageworks foyer, A barrow, a singsing is a highly personal work that reverberates with ideas celebration and sorrow; life and death; victory and loss; joy and sadness; flesh and bones; stillness and movement; sport and culture; front and back; colour and darkness; bodies and limbs.
