David Rosetzky’s enigmatic project ‘Composite Acts’ features a series of performances with choreography by Jo Lloyd and performed by Shelley Lasica, Harrison Ritchie-Jones and Arabella Frahn-Starkie, with set-design by Sean Meilak. ‘Composite Acts’ traverses video, performance, choreography, set-design and photography to explore non-binary identities and the relative and fragmentary nature of the self. To produce the work, Rosetzky interviewed his collaborators about their personal relationships and family histories to devise a script that forms the nexus of the piece. The script is subsequently spoken, deconstructed, and integrated with choreographed movement enacted in dialogue with a suite of sculptural objects.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
