Candice and I provided camera and data wrangling assistance for Aarti Jadu for a new music video.

Rebekah Rehearsed her show in Aireys.


Beginning with some beautiful duets. I navigated the duets with the moving camera.


The space opened up the performance. I imagined that the expanded energy of this space might give the work more volume in the smaller Cecil st next week. I thought of times distance is explored in conversations to see how they might change body language, volume and dialogue.

Rebekah takes her dedicated dancers on a journey traversing an emotional landscape.

Rebekah ran such a beautiful rehearsal with an engaging warm up from Dale. Rebekah’s direction was clear and assured. She gave her words and thoughts space to be contemplated. She gave assurance to her cast by backing her directions with a calm and present demeanour. It showed in the cast who relished her direction and explored what she was asking with boldness, bravery and full heartedness.

One of the great strengths of Rebekah’s work is how dedicated the actors become under her guidance. Watching how completely they commit to the performance is beautiful.
