Live Dreams: Theshold

Performance Space’s Live Dreams is a platform for artists to share works-in-progress and ideas in development in a dynamic and responsive environment. Live Dreams takes place both in-theatre at Carriageworks and digitally via our live streaming channel, Live On The Line. This platform offers us an exciting glimpse into current developments in experimental art, creating a crucible for experimentation and conversation.

‘Works that consider arrival, passing through and beginning anew. That meet the 'what if' and 'if only' questions, that may bring us to the end of what we know’

In curating this program for Live Dreams, I have considered how artists continue to meet the conditions of our existence. What opportunities, responsibilities and experiences the making of and receiving of art practice produces. Interwoven through these musings, the literal definition of Threshold: 'the magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction, phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested', offers us a provocation to yield into those places that our already existent knowledge systems cannot take us.
