"Vignettes flickers fades" (archive project for 20 years of Critical Path)
“Vignettes flickers fades” is an experimental archive conceived by Ira Ferris for the 20th anniversary of Critical Path choreographic research centre. The project consists of a text, a sound montage, a map, and live performances.
This sound-montage was created in collaboration with musician and sound artist Alexandra Spence.
A sonic archive is made from the flickers of words recorded during Ferris’ conversations with eleven dance artists involved in the “Vignettes flickers fades” project; each of whom have a longstanding relationship with Critical Path. They are: Lizzie Thomson, Ryuichi Fujimura, Vicki Van Hout, Nikki Heywood, Martin del Amo, Rhiannon Newton, Linda Luke, Jane McKernan, Patricia Wood, Angela Goh and Victoria Hunt.
Combined with field recordings of inside and outside the Drill Hall, taken by Alexandra Spence.
In tune with the overall project, the sonic archive is a way to immortalise the ambience and the impact of the space – the Drill Hall – by accessing its resonance in the bodies of those who have danced research here.
The sound montage is best listened to with a good quality headphones.

The written part of “Vignettes flickers fades” is published in Critical Dialogues #16.
The “Vignettes flickers fades” project was assisted by Woollahra Municipal Council’s Cultural Grants Program, through Critical Path.

EP73: Jasmin Sheppard (Preparing Ground)
Conversation with dancer and choreographer JASMIN SHEPPARD about PREPARING GROUND – a new dance work that invites us to join First Peoples’ care of Land as an urgent act for our shared future.
PREPARING GROUND is a First Nations-led dance work co-directed by pioneering indigenous artist Marilyn Miller, alongside Jasmin Sheppard and Katina Olsen. It dances of the future Future—a world where care for Country and community continues generationally. It reminds us that our survival depends on an enduring relationship with the land, and that the path forward is one we must walk together.

Also featured on the show, a music from SOUND THE ALARM, a 16-piece ensemble led by double bassist Clayton Thomas, in response to the genocide in Palestine.
The track was recorded during their live performance at Johnston Street Jazz (June 2024). The music is a composed improvisation, described by Clayton as “a sonic allegory and a simple way to collect human energy in the right place for the right reasons.”
All the proceeds from the album go towards humanitarian aid in Gaza: https://claytonthomas.bandcamp.com

EP72: Thomas Thorby-Lister (Woollahra Gallery - Site Actions)
Conversation with artist THOMAS THORBY-LISTER about his solo exhibition SITE ACTIONS showing at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf from 9th of April. to 11 May 2025
SITE ACTIONS is an exhibition of site-responsive paintings that engage with the natural environment that surrounds Woollahra Gallery. The landscape acts as an active participant in the creative process, with elements such as rain, wind, sun and water leaving marks on the sheets of linen, which are eventually rendered in subtle monochromatic tones to reflect the natural hues of the environment.
Allowing the natural forces to shape and imprint their textures onto the fabric, Thomas Thorby-Lister relinquishes a part of his agency to give a greater voice to nature and engage in the collaborative process of ‘making with’ more-than-human.
