Great things coming soon…

Spare Rib

We are in the process of filming our performative, poetic, creative documentary about The Unknown Artist. We are in the midst of our first in the series – The Bare Bones of Things, which will be followed by The Decadent, second in the series and then two further documentaries to follow.

This series of documentary films highlight the creative, authentic, and assiduous but often unseen talents of (female) independent artists, and this is all the basis of an experimental creative method Rochelle is engaged with, of processing a dance theatre performance work for stage through the filmic process.

“She sits at an elongated table, that stretches from wall to wall, adorned with a chaotic mess of culinary and other delights. She begins with a simple gesture and little by little her story emerges. Her world is revealed through the small tear in her dress, that piece of hair which refuses to stay in place, and her relationship to the waiter, the musician, the chef, the policeman, a difficult hunk of pork, her guests and the spread which lay before her. She is confronted by her own unrelenting appetites. She fights feelings of longing and temptation.”

Spare Rib delves into the depths of women’s oral appetites; the desperate measures women can/would/could go to, to be heard, and the need to purge evidence of acceptable form from their bodies, to be as unique as they are, and to be heard as loudly as they wish.

If you would like to be a part of this process, please feel free to contact Rochelle to have a chat.

Performers engaged in the process: Georgina Bond, Katrina Rank, Catherine Underhill, Alice Robinson, Dani-Ela Kayler, Genevieve Neve, Kym King, Sally Smith, Vivienne Rogis, Bryan Smith, and Jay Clarke.
