The KISS Club asks five artists to present 10 minutes of a work in progress to an audience, providing a chance to trial a new idea and receive immediate feedback, with you, the audience gaining access to a dynamic arts experience. It can be anything, so long as it needs an audience. KISS Club celebrates works in progress, giving audiences fresh insight into what is bubbling in the hearts and minds of Perth’s experimental performance makers, and the opportunity to help shape and support new work. It books out every year, so don’t miss out!

Created by Sydney based artist Karen Therese, KISS club has been presented by tactical media group pvi collective since 2012, in partnership with PICA from 2017 to 2020, and evolving into a KickstART edition last year. In 2023, KISS club is a collaboration between Propel Youth Arts, Midland Junction Arts and pvi collective.

Wed 19 April and Thur 20 April 2023 | 7 - 8pm | Suitable 16+ yrs

The Quadrangle is a new verbatim performance experience from Whiskey & Boots, the producers of Mama Stitch, that asks children to reflect on who they are, their world and their future.

Over the last few months Whiskey & Boots have worked in residence at Midland Junction Arts Centre, listening and recording the ideas of young people from the community of Midland. Children 6 to 16 years old were asked the same 10 questions, with their stories presented as a Headphone Verbatim performance.

Underscored with live music that has been composed in response to the children they met, The Quadrangle is an insight into what the young people of Midland think.

Experience the benefits of dance and creativity in this weekly seated class. Dance improves balance, strength, flexibility, and ease of movement - increasing overall confidence and sense of wellbeing. The classes begin seated, progressing slowly with options to stand or to extend movement, in a friendly and fun environment.

Seated dance is for people of all ages and capabilities, particularly those who enjoy dance but are physically limited. Families, support workers and friends are welcome to join in and tea and coffee are included after the class.

Lynne Williams is a Contemporary Dancer/Movement Specialist who trained at the acclaimed London Contemporary Dance School. She has over 30 years’ experience as a performer, choreographer and teacher.
