SOCIAL MUSCLE CLUB 13 SEPT ***THE FARM*** @_thefarm SMC the death edition – An evening for everyone who is going to die. Join us in Berlin. We are not just talking about the big D here, but also the little d’s, the tiny deaths we experience every day. Come celebrate our imminent demise on Friday the 13th, in a communal letting go, hosted by Australian company The Farm. Sooner or later we will all be down under. The Farm is a small organization based on the Gold Coast, away from the traditional strongholds of contemporary dance and performance. We operate as a collective, with collaborative processes that have been running for 20+ years, based upon intergenerational respect and reciprocity. We are from different backgrounds, ages, genders, sexualities and lived experiences. We work together because we believe that shared knowledge is a powerful tool in creating art that matters, that shakes up our existing systems. Registrations are now officially open for those who want to meet us on Friday the 13th. **On the same day, from 18:00-20:00, there will be a march at Brandenburg Tor to protest the planned budget cuts for the free scene. We support this action! You can attend the march and still make it to the club in time! The SMC artists are also affected by these budget cuts and need your support! Supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Community, Creative Australia, and Arts Queenland. In cooperation with Uferstudios Berlin and the PSR Collective. #socialmuscleclub #uferstudios @senkultgz @uferstudios_tanz_berlin @psr.at.heizhaus @creative.australia @qldgov @socialmuscleclubgc

Tony is our collective love child. It’s a work about misunderstanding so sometimes we’ve been confused, but we believe being confused is a modern way of life. We believe in things that don’t make sense, the things that are under the surface of our perception, and the music of Elton John. We’ll invite him to the show and hope he can make it. When we work on Tony, we get together, get meditative, get awkward, get demonstrative and get gone. In Tony we trust. - @gav.webber Come enter our world of chaos and love at @monashoac May 1, 2 & 3 Tickets via our bio. ___________ Created by: Kate Harman @whichkate_ Michael Smith @smiike_ Gavin Webber @gav.webber Anna Whitaker @anna_whitaker Performed by: Kate Harman @whichkate_ and Oli Mathiesen @oli_sen Direction: Gavin Webber @gav.webber Lighting Design: Govin Ruben Composer & Sound Designer: Anna Whitaker Anna_whitaker Visual Design: Merinda Davies @merinda_davies_ Commissioned by @monash_uni , @carriageworks , @dancehouse.melb and the Keir Foundation for the 2020 Keir Choreographic Award.

~ BARE BONES 2023 FACILITATOR ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Kate Harman (@whichkate_ ) is an Australian artist working in the fields of performance, dance & social art. Her work orients around the notion of the body as a cumulative container for personal, genetic, and cultural memory, a living archive, containing limitless realms of possibilities. Through collaborative creation her practice, at its core, looks to relieve the dancers and the audience's bodies from the constraints built by political, cultural and aesthetic hierarchies.   She is a founding member of The Farm; a collective of artists, working collaboratively on the concept, direction and performance of work which strives to connect with anyone from dance aficionados to theatre virgins. From the theatre, to a drive-in performance in a Showgrounds, to a 48 hour performance on a sandbar, their work centres around the fragility and strength of the human condition. Since 2019, together with Gavin Webber, Kate has been creating biographical work with non-professions, such as a retired 2 time world champion wrestler; and siblings experiencing the joy and difficulties of living with down syndrome, to name a few. Her work with The Farm has been presented nationally and internationally. 📷 @artworkagency , @buzzgards • EOI closes this Sunday 8th January!
