22.01.2022 LAYER PREMIERE LATE 2020. Update on our next work!... Layer is a dance / physical theatre work co-conceived by Stalker and Box of Birds artists : David Clarkson, Matt Hughes, Andrew Johnston, Boris Bagattini, Andrew Bluff, composer Peter Kennard and dancers Katina Olsen & Cloe Fournier. This team has recently been joined by partners in the Netherlands : SHelfish Productions and The Grand Theatre in Groningen. Layer will premiere in late 2020, thanks to support from: Epic Games, The Australia 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. www.boxofbirds.net

22.01.2022 The issue of where is home? is relevant to most of the LAYER team. Many Australians have multiple cultural identities and are torn about the notion of home. Freedom to travel, Article 13 of the UN Charter, is a right that currently most of us have forsaken in some way. Losing this freedom creates a larger issue around human identity and this, coupled with global warming, raises a question about the future for us all. #LAYER #stalkertheatre #freedomtotravel #uncharter #article13

18.01.2022 Andrew Bluff and David Clarkson messing around with Virtual Butterflies..... at least there are no bushfires in the digital realm.... or wait are there......???? This is all about creating learning environments for children and adults. Had not imagined the bushfire learning environment would be so exceedingly relevant to our world today....

12.01.2022 In this time of COVID, a few of Stalkers historical shows in full length for you to while away the hours for your viewing pleasure. Some of them are a bit roughly shot, and perhaps lack some credits, as they were originally uploaded for company viewing. But here they are made public for the first time!
