A monthly forum for artists to present experimental video and performance works-in-development and receive guided audience feedback.
Modelled on the format of an art school ‘crit’, this monthly program invites guest artists to share works-in-development across experimental video and performance practices.
Guided by moderator Tanya Cubric, the audience is encouraged to watch attentively before collaboratively unpacking what they have observed. The discussion focuses on visual and sonic choices, form and rhythm, as well as the emotional and conceptual impressions of each piece.
This program offers emerging and established artists a supportive space to test ideas, hear genuine audience responses and return to their practice with deeper insight. For audiences, it offers a rare window into the creative process and an invitation to engage closely with ambitious, exploratory work.
Everybody is welcome to attend! You can register to attend as an audience member via the link on this page.
Artists looking to present work can submit an application here.

Indigo Keane & Emily Isabel Taylor
Transdisciplinary artist Emily Isabel Taylor documents performer Indigo Keane (aka Body Fondue) in a moving image work that asks how a body might slice through its surroundings, transcend shape and bend its temporal demands.
Through collage, art-making offcuts, recycled and reshaped metals, Taylor's practice is guided by a concept of antifragility, where stress, chaos and disorder become conditions for growth.
Trained in Pilates, Yoga, Suzuki, Butoh and Vaganova Ballet, Keane's work explores codified movement systems as containers for embodied vitality.
