Two Marblous Gals was a site-specific performance, devised and performed collaboratively with Tahlee Leeson. The work was debuted at the Ultimo Community Centre as part of the walking tour, Desire Lines 3.0, in March 2017. 

 

The semi-interactive performance utilised the playfulness of marbles to discuss everyday moments of human observation. With audience members scattered around the performance space, the work began with a simple game of marbles. This casual tone remained throughout the work, weaving in and out of more choreographed moments of physicality. With constraint of immediacy, both performers chatted of that morning's commute, fading between an excitement for the marbles, and the wave of the story being recounted. The work kept to a performative score with just enough structure to be aesthetically pleasing while remaining flexible to improvised discussion. The final image scattered another 1000 marbles throughout the space, acting as a representation of the waves of strangers we encounter weekly without noticing. Making no effort to shy away from the innate childhood delight of marbles, the work boasted a distinct atmosphere of enjoyment and play.
