I N D EPE N D E N T A N D EX P ERI MENTAL A RT S.
Canberrans should prepare to be
surprised, challenged and inspired
over five days by the performances
and creations of some of our most
talented emerging artists.
The You Are Here festival is building
a strong reputation for presenting
new and experimental work to a wide
and engaged audience. Last year,
more than 9,000 people participated,
and this year we’ve got our sights
set on reaching 10,000 people during
the festival.
Importantly, You Are Here also provides
critical professional development
and career pathways for artists and
production staff – creating a talented
and experienced pool of arts practitioners
who can enhance the ACT’s cultural
growth and energy.
You Are Here is yet another valuable
contributor to our city’s diversity
and vibrancy and the ACT Government
is very pleased to support the festival
through both the ACT Event Fund and
the ACT Arts Fund.

2016 PROGRAM

We’re living in a city that is
changing rapidly. Most of the time
these seem like large, monumental
changes created by newly poured
concrete and fresh steel. But with
this change, the fine grain of our
everyday interaction with these
spaces also shifts. And in the
background there is the ever
present squawk of the cockatoo
and the hum of the bush.
You Are Here festival is a small
piece of this puzzle, exploring
the spaces between; the urban and
the bush, the domestic and the
democratic. All with an eye to the
playful and absurd parts of life
that put a skip in our step and
a twinkle in our eye. This year’s
program brings you an incredible
collection of artists, working
across and between art forms,
creating unique experiences that
might only be able to exist with your
help. We’re going to be occupying
some familiar places steeped in
nostalgia; with our main festival
venue The Club in the old North Bar
on Northbourne Ave and a big night
out in the grimy yet intriguing
Verity Lane that runs behind it.
We’re looking farther afield than
we ever have before with a series
of events in a private home in
O’Connor and a residency at the
Ready-cut Cottage in Namadgi National
Park. Our artists will be popping up
in local businesses, public spaces,
laneways, carparks and theatres.
Expect some spirited debate and
some serious party. You can also
expect a genuine commitment to
accessibility, with more information
about how to access the festival than
ever. As always we would love your
feedback on what we do.
So come with us, follow us into
the back streets, the suburban
corners, the abandoned spaces and
our favourite places. Climb on your
bike, rev up your car, take a walk
or hop on our boat (seriously,
there’s a boat this year) and
we will see you there.

SECTION TITLE
YOU ARE HERE
How
to
You
Are
Here
What?
You Are Here is an experimental arts
festival. There are a few things that
make us unique:
›
Many of our events take place
in unusual spaces like laneways,
cafes, and carparks
›
You might not always be able to
describe an event as ‘dance’ or
‘visual art’ because often our
events are a combination of one
or more types of art
›
You might be asked to participate
in some way to make the events
happen. This is usually very
simple and won’t be scary at
all – we promise!
When?
The festival pops up between
Wednesday 13 April and Sunday 17
April 2016. On weekdays, most of our
events happen between 6pm – 10pm.
On weekends our events start around
10am and can run until midnight.
Where?
The Club is our central festival
venue, located at 46 Northbourne Ave,
Canberra City. Pop in to grab a program,
get answers to questions and see many
of our festival events. Our other
venues are marked on the map at the
front of this program.

What happens when the unstoppable
force of climate change meets the
immovable object of Australian
federal politics?
As Fleetwood Mac take the stage
in Parliament House’s main hall,
96 armed eco-terrorists storm the
building and threaten to execute
everyone unless Australia stops
climate change. Tonight.
David Finnigan invites you into
the high-speed, blunt-force trauma
of Kill Climate Deniers. This is a
trip behind the scenes of the play,
featuring a dancefloor-ready mix of
classic techno by Reuben Ingall.

is work - valuable work that might
save the planet. We’re interested
in ways of being and feeling

pathologised as mental illness. We
want to see what happens when you
use art to figure these states as
work.

courage to ask for help, and for

Exploring themes of trauma,
suffering, human generosity and

gory details (literally) emerge
as the audience assists the castclad artist in the actual ritual
of taking a bath, and the actual

DOGCHAT
WHEN
Elevator Vignettes is an
experimental video work that
employs the opening and closing of
elevator doors as a metaphor for
the very small fragments we ever
experience of another individual’s
life. Each brief voyeuristic
glimpse gives us a taste of a much
more complicated whole, one that
starts well before the doors open,
and will continue once they close.

Greg LaMond and Bernard Hinault
during the 1986 Tour De France,
Twin Pedals is a site-specific
sonic work composed by Shoeb
Ahmad, centred around sinewy
melodies, harmonic interplay and
floating tempos, all illuminated by
backdrops created by Kate Ahmad
using the vivid colours of the
peleton.
Unravelling explores the notion
of personal storytelling; where
do honest stories fit into our
overstimulated lives? Clasp your
light source close and venture into
the labyrinth of stories. Stay for
a night of tales, or leave when the
light flickers out.

When We First Met is a mobile
dance theatre performance for
one audience member, guided via
headphones, where you, the audience

intriguing performance transports
you and redefines the spaces
of Canberra. You, a pair of
headphones, the city as terrain,
and the story that unravels.
This event is for one audience
member at a time, with
sessions available on the hour,
lasting for 40 minutes. Go to

We’re dead. Join us as we slice
