Shifting and Sliding: The Feminine Psyche in Performance

Jenny Kemp has been recognised as one of Melbourne's most innovative directors and writers for more than two decades. She has been associated with the Australian Performing Group and the groundbreaking Stasis Group and has directed in Melbourne, Sydney and South Australia. Kemp occupies unique theatrical territory. A writer and director of exceptional vision, she mines the unconscious for images and tales that defy conventional narrative. Black Sequin Productions creates performance works, that investigate the human psyche and it’s ability to function creatively in a contemporary world. ‘...as you walk down the street you see the real world but feel aware of an inner world..’ Black Sequin Productions attempt a dialogue with this disjunction. Our intention is to liberate the audience from the usual constraints of linear time and provoke an imaginative and associative engagement with image, action, text and sound.
