2pm - Performance: Dancing Kelp (20 mins)
We are excited to present this short dance and sound piece as part of the exhibition Kelp and the Sentient Sea by Kim McDonald and Jasmine Susic. This work responds to the forces of the oceanic environment and how they intertwine with the movement and physicality of printmaking and dance practice. With original sound by South Gippsland/Naarm based artist Rott Wheeler, visual art and performance collide in this event, resulting in a unique and immersive activation of the exhibition and bringing the forces within the work to life.

Dancers: Jasmine Susic, Lucy Hogan, Joe Newton-Keogh and Alec Katsourakis 
Sound: Sea Ghost by Rott Wheeler
 
2.30pm - Artist Talk
Following the performance, you are welcome to stay for an Artist Talk where artists Jasmine Susic and Kim McDonald will discuss their exhibition and ongoing collaboration.
