THE OMEGA POINT?
Part ritual, part musical performance. The Omega Point is the project of artist, director and performer Alex Clouston, weaving intense dirge-like harmonies and ethereal soundscapes across influences ranging from Gregorian chant to psychedelic rock, electronica and industrial music. Performing from solo to collective, most frequently with core collaborators Mark Conroy and Alex O'Connell, The Omega Point creates what they call eco-requiems - embodied, experimental works at the intersection of music, ritual and ecology. They received air play or participated in interviews on FBI Sydney, RRR, Syn, Pbs and 3CR Melbourne.
THE THURSDAY GROUP
A Melbourne-based theatre ensemble working in a psychophysical approach to co-devised performance-making and drama education.
Led by Artistic Director Tessa Marie Luminati, The Thursday Group create performances that combine rigorous technique and intense physical discipline with politically charged narratives and adaptations.
The ensemble’s practice draws on Suzuki Method of Actor Training, Grotowski, and original devising methodologies, developing the ability to move as one ensemble body, sustain physical and vocal rigour, and create works of archetypal, archaic depth in a theatre laboratory setting.
