Sun 8 Feb

For the past 6 weeks dancer/performance maker Marnie Orr has been in residence at CIA Studios with the Movement Laboratory project. Through a site-based dance inquiry, the Lab has aimed to describe body-place relation by sharing experience across disciplines and cultures. Led by Marnie Orr the Lab has been presented as a facilitated movement research ‘laboratory’ with a group of 13 performers and other individuals from either artistic (visual arts, film, music) or other arts/science-based fields of practice (anthropology, psychology, education).
The Media Jam at CIA brings the Movement People in to play within an audio-visual environment. They are joined by 5 artists who will install their elements into the space’s architecture in parallel with an artistic dialogue with the Movement People inhabiting the studio environments. Audiences are invited to experience the Media Jam for what it is – an experimental space exposing the process of drawing together production elements to enhance the potential for transformative space within a performance setting.
Please note: there is a limited capacity attendance so please nominate which jam session times you wish to attend. Please feel free to book for more than one session (1st RSVP, 1st serve basis).
The Media Jam is open to all CIA members & supporters/friends via required rsvp.

3. .:: ARTIST TALK & FORUM - MARNIE ORR::.
Fri 13 Feb, 6pm
CIA Hubspace
Join dance/performance maker Marnie Orr for an informal talk and open forum regarding her residency at CIA.
Marnie will be discussing her on & off-site workshop process and live research methodology involving Bodyweather training and site-based practice as well as discussing the impact that other professionals have had presenting to the Lab including anthropologist Justin Beal and environmentalist Giles Glasson.
Drawing directly from the long term inquiry with collaborative partnership ROCKface [Marnie Orr & Rachel Sweeney], the language Marnie works with has evolved from challenging existing dance vocabularies through exchanging dialogue with artists from non-performance disciplines, and scientists.
