Walking piece details

‘Length of a Distance’ is a 1 hour long performance originally designed for the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. The piece highlights the unique acoustic qualities of the transitional public spaces and explores the pace, density and presence of the people passing through them.

In the performance 8 performers are walking through the tunnel, carrying around small portable speakers. Each speaker plays a different pitch which sums up to a vibrating 8 note chord. Depending on the distance from each performer, one could hear different colors of the sound. The piece was later re-comissioned by international experimental festival UH Fest, and performed in 3 different sites of Budapest.

Bridging History

The Bridging History series tells the tale of the colonisation and settlement of Dubbo, on Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW Australia, through built infrastructure that changed the Wambuul Macquarie River forever. The bridges cross water and land with a much older story to tell. Today, you can cross all three bridge sites by walking, running or cycling the Tracker Riley Cycleway that loops around the river.
