This panel discussion will explore the power of the creative and performing arts to transform abstract concepts of violence, into visceral, corporal experiences.
It will also look at the responses these embodiments can evoke. Hear from prize-winning author Charlotte Wood and an interdisciplinary panel of artists, scholars and practitioners as they reflect on the many ways violence is represented in their own practice.
Charlotte Wood
On the panel will be Charlotte Wood, author of the multi-prize winning novel The Natural Way of Things exploring power, gender, and violence in Australia. Charlotte's novel is the inspiration for the upcoming Sites of Violence immersive theatre work The foul of the air.
Bruce Isaacs
Joining Charlotte will be film scholar, Bruce Isaacs, as he extends this examination of the Australian landscape and how it visually manifests a 'sunlit noir' aesthetic in filmic portrayals of the hostile outback.
Carolyn McKay
Redirecting our attention to the sinister alcoves of road-side motels, visual artist, author and Sydney Law School academic Carolyn McKay, will invite us to confront lingering sensations of discomfort through her research on 'hauntologies'.
Michelle St Anne
Finally, focusing on aesthetics and the performative body, theatre practitioner and Sydney Environment Institute Deputy Director Michelle St Anne will interrogate the visibility of trauma.
