We are truly thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with Juliet and Ishvara on a project called Cysava 2.0

They are genuinely incredible artists with a remarkable skill for interpreting our work (it’s amazing how their movement and our music feel completely synergized!)

Please come on November 13, 14, and 15 at Temperancehall, Naarm (Melbourne), to experience their performance in an atmosphere rich with emotional play and feeling.

For full details and ticket purchase, check out the @temperance.hall account!

A huge thank you to the entire team for the excellent teamwork that made this possible.

Shouting loud about International Dance Day feels timely and important, given recent curses of Chalamet and disappointing reporting by supposed arts-supporting news channels. It takes a peculiar level of ignorance to proclaim the death of art when it lives and breathes all around us, provides a heartbeat for humanity, and a balm for the sharper times in life.

Dance is the result of the evolution of a primal human urge for physical expression, connection and communication. I sometimes dream of a world where people actually believe me when I say: everyone can dance. From the most subtle and pedestrian minutiae of movement to the most virtuosic of highly trained choreographies, the spectrum of what constitutes dance is vast. It is, inadvertently, part of all our lives; that innate relationship with dance can be nurtured through supporting artists by seeing shows, practicing dance, or learning more about its broad impact on other arts, culture, design and even language. Imagine a 20th century without Chanel, Stravinsky, Picasso, Cocteau … all who were elevated by their collaborations with dance through the Ballets Russes. “Astonish me”, said its impresario Diaghilev. Do we dare to, still?

When there is dialogue about the precarity of art, the response must be to continue to create and innovate, not succumb to the inertia of ill-chosen vox pops with flippant views on art and culture. When there is a rise of political ideology that degrades art and independent thought, the acts of creation and innovation become a fight. An important one. They want apathy, they want art to push an homogenous agenda. We must resist. We must create.

My dear collaborator @ishvara.dev and I created CYVASA 2.0 as a statement on identity. Behind its creation are 4 fierce Indonesian women (with @metatesis_ ) who are angry about the way this world reflects us. So we made our own world. I’m so proud of what we created and soon we will evolve it further for future presentations to be announced soon.

Can’t think of a better way to honour this day than to share images of this new creation, one we hope will continue to connect people to the transformative - and vital - power of dance.

Without shadow there is no light. Without light there is no shadow.

Ketok, Ora Ketok is Javanese for “Seen, Unseen”. The seen (physical) and unseen (spiritual) realms, represented by the interplay of light and shadow, is central to the art of Wayang Kulit, or shadow puppetry. Its performance is as much storytelling as it is a purification ritual, that dances between concepts of duality and multiplicity: divine and human, good and evil, internal and external forces, micro and macro, dark and light, and all in between.

Through the medium of Wayang Kulit, Ketok, Ora Ketok is a meditational exorcism, seeking balance and harmony between the multitude of selves.
