“The life of art begins in the bodies and minds of artists, their act of making bringing the work into being. In some ways we, the audience, also play a role in actualising their creative objective by engaging with their work. What this might stir in us as participants is gently guided by the work, in concert with our lived experience we bring to this moment.”
