This team has recently been joined by partners in the Netherlands : SHelfish Productions and WERC in Groningen. Layer will have its first development in November 2020, thanks to support from: Epic Games, The A...ustralia Council, The City of Sydney, Brand X and the Prins Bernhard Fonds/ Cultuurmakers (Netherlands) . Layer dances the story of three woman, each alone and isolated with multiple cultural identities. Indigenous/ non-indigenous/ Australian/ European. They encounter multiple replications (or layers) of themselves in real, virtual, fragmented and augmented selves. It artistically explores notions of replication of self- identity, isolation, play and the pleasures and fears we stumble upon in our socially distanced COVID selves. Layer will develop a number of technical innovations to allow the theatre work to be presented both live as well as online, simultaneously in the Netherlands and Australia. Layer will also to be digitally interactive both for its performers and for its audience.
