Without Words
In collaboration with Bia Lupiga, Lana Wang, and Phillip Pham, Amelia Vu performs Without Words – performance that transforms dance into a wordless language, vividly narrating the journey of a person grappling with the profound challenges of communication and self-expression. In a society where communication barriers can leave individuals feeling marginalised and helpless, this performance is a powerful story of self-discovery and acceptance.
Bowery Theatre Saturday 1 March 2025.
West of the Bridge
Through Paul McVeigh’s process-driven practice of painting, he comments on the idea of Spaciality. There is no ambitious technique, it is unsophisticated, a painting constructed from its singularity and compositional analogues. Painting is not just a rendering. It references those places as a kind of narrative unto the paint. Technique is not the prime focus of the process. The crafting of the work however, is relevant.
March 15-30th at Louis Joel Arts & Community Centre– 5 Sargood St, Altona

Revolution and Joy serves as both an expression of grief and hope and, ultimately, a reminder that joy, even in its most fleeting moments, has a revolutionary power.
