Happy Hour #12 2021

We are delighted to announce the twelfth edition of our Happy Hour Series, featuring artists: Tra Mi Dinh; Cleo Mees with Poppy Burnett; Victoria Hunt, Moe Clark and James Brown.

Tra Mi Dinh will perform Not The Piece - a nod to the dismissed, forgotten, silly, or potentially perfect alternate ideas that get thrown around the rehearsal room. These fleeting mo(ve)ments are offered another life in a fresh context for practically the same purpose. 

Cleo Mees will present Feeling Good - a work about the precarity, pleasure and meaning of work for the artist-academic under neoliberalism. Part story and part essay, its protagonist grapples with an overpowering loss of faith in her line of work. As she searches for a new way to ascribe value to the things in her life, she finds sustenance (and maybe answers) in everyday pleasures, feminist writing, and the muddy beauty of team sport. The work is made in collaboration with artist Poppy Burnett.

Victoria Hunt will share work from Weather Beings - her project with her ongoing collaborators Moe Clark and James Brown.

​Happy Hour #12 will also feature a fundraising bar with beer supplied by Capital Brewing Co. and wine by Annandale Cellars. Join us from 5pm for a drink on the verandah to raise funds for ReadyMade's programs and to celebrate the re-emergence of live performance after a difficult year!
