Jacky Lansley's multi-media performance built from artists’ shared experiences about – home, loss, joy, caring, age, the environment, cultural identity and gender.

About Us is a performance work built around personal life experiences shared by the performance artists - Vincent Ebrahim, Ingrid Mackinnon, Ursula Early, Esther Huss, Jreena Green, Fergus Early and Tim Taylor - experiences about home, homelessness, grief, joy, caring, the environment, cultural identity and gender.

About Us explores the extraordinary and the everyday. Any audience can recognise their own gestures and feelings in the movement and visual vocabulary. The repetition of the story ingredients through film, soundscapes and live performance becomes celebratory, insightful and intriguing, as large and small events are framed and made special. I try to also play mischievously with multiple perspectives – near, far, live, film, inside, outside – and draw the audience into an intimate world, which they are part of.

‘We wanted to create a performance which refuses to close down borders and fear difference. We wanted to choreograph hope’ - Jacky Lansley
