Thanks everyone who as pledged so far, I have made my initial target.  I still have a couple of days to go and more expenses to cover so if you still would like to support the project I would very much appreciate it.

Light Artist Katie Sfetkidis needs your help to develop a new performance installation work about bioluminescence and the deep sea.  In February 2013 Katie will undertake a one week creative development at Metro Arts! in Brisbane. In order to make this week as fruitful as possible,  she is  seeking a small amount of funds to help support this phase of the research.

Your support will go towards the following: - flights from Melbourne to Brisbane, Venue Costs and Materials

About the Project:

In Deep Water is new performance installation piece about bioluminescence in the deep sea by Melbourne light artist Katie Sfetkidis.   It will be developed over a series of  intensive research and development workshops throughout 2013.  Research for this work will explore the different properties of light under water and how these marine animals use lighting as a language.

From the research Katie willI create an interactive light sculpture within an immersive sensory environment that audience members will be invited to take a journey into.  In Deep Water will premiere as part of Theatre Works Encounter(s) program in December 2013.  

Research for this work began in December 2012 , with a two week residency at Theatre Works, St Kilda. Images and research material from this inital phase has been collected here: In Deep Water Blog.  In 2013, a number of creative development intensives have been planned in the lead up to the Encounter(s) festival in December.

Thanks!

Katie
