Odd Hours

Nominated for “Best Ensemble” in Dance and “Best Visual Design” in the 2021 Green Room Awards. Odd Hours was a 5 night long performance at Abbotsford Convent, directed by Yumi Umiumare, which I performed in as part of a very large ensemble for ButohOUT! Festival, 2021

There are more than twenty performers in her ensemble of eccentrics, and they overwhelm the long performance space, creating an anarchic panorama of writhing bodies and weird costumes. This is a show overflowing with images and enigmatic exchanges.

– Andrew Fuhrmann, The Age, ★★★★

The prevailing spirit of Odd Hours is one of playful absurdity. It has a kind of giddy enthusiasm that is hard to resist.
