THE PROJECT

Seeking radical ways of engaging with nature through art, curator Gretel Taylor invited leading Australian performance and visual artists to respond to the theme ‘force of nature’, with an emphasis on participation and performance. Artists’ works related to the potency or influence of local environments on our lives and arts practices, referred to global environmental forces or climates, and responded to a situation of ‘post-nature’.
Force of Nature comprised an exhibition at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum with satellite events at local sites, September- October 2018.
EPA artists contributed:
  • Installations, dance video and soundscapes at Yarra Ranges Regional Museum
  • A one day ‘Nature Dancing’ workshop in a forest at Eagle Nest Picnic Ground, Olinda - Peter Fraser
  • A lakeside performance for a forum at Lilydale Lake

"We acknowledge that we live, work and create on the lands and waters of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands and their continuing connection to the land and waters surrounding us. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
 We acknowledge that generations of First Nations people have danced, performed and told story here for over sixty thousand years and these rich customs and traditions continue in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture today."
