Leaps + Beats

Deep Soulful Sweats, DJ Sui Zhen, Amrita Hepi and Aarti Jadu

For the Immigration Museum’s Leaps + Beats, join local dance luminaries Deep Soulful Sweats (Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen) lead a guided astrological dance class-meets-rave-meets-ritual experience, alongside DJ Sui Zhen, and artist-in-residence Amrita Hepi. Participants are divided into elements based on star signs (earth, air, fire, water) for this inclusive experience in our Long Room. No spectators, no steps to be learned and no dance experience necessary! All welcome but bookings essential.

Later in the Courtyard, vocalist, composer and producer Aarti Jadu delivers a live solo set spanning her many influences and practices from Indian, choral, chant and experimental realms, to create an exhilarating space beyond genre. With vocals at once wild and ethereal, Aarti is unafraid to delve into a dark ambience of reverberating deep sub bass set against floating angelic harmonies.

Date & Time From 6.30pm, 26 February 2020
Venue Immigration Museum
Tickets $10-20

    ABOUT THE SHOW

    Crack the year open and drain the last drop of summer with us in the ultimate bonus night of 2020. We find an extra night in the year to dance, listen, connect and take artistic risks, with genre-hopping artists paying respect to all those who’ve made the leap.

     

    Get down with friends, family and leaplings to our final Summer Courtyard of the season, featuring dance, music, food and drink entwined.

    ABOUT THE ARTISTS

    Deep Soulful Sweats Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen
    DJ Sui Zhen
    Artist in Residence Amrita Hepi
    Live Solo Set in the Courtyard Aarti Jadu

    Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen/ Deep Soulful Sweats create work that engages rigorously with participation, scale, waste and reckless formalism- recycling content to consider materiality and how we come together. Recent works include What Am I Supposed To Do? (WAISTD) (Arts Centre Melbourne/Melbourne Fringe 2019. Winner Melbourne Festival Discovery Award, Greenroom Award nominee) and cult classic Deep Soulful Sweats- a shape-shifting participatory astrology dance performance without spectators.
