BodyPlaceProject creates performances and art experiences that bring audiences’ attention to sensory, historical, environmental and cultural qualities of a site or place. Recently, BodyPlaceProject has explored place in ever-broadening ways through curation of exhibitions and events, creation of video and photographic works, public art and facilitation of projects that offer audiences/participants experiences and reflections upon site, place and Country.

Initiated by dance artist and curator Gretel Taylor, BodyPlaceProject has evolved into a collective of artists who share a deep interest in place experienced through the body. Based on the lands and waters of the Wurundjeri of the Kulin Nation, we frequently collaborate Wurundjeri Elders, Knowledge holders and artists, including Djirri Djirri women’s dance group. We also collaborate with many other artists, communities and non-human beings of the places in which we work.

Recent projects include CONFLUENCE residency at Coranderrk, exhibition ngurrak-al marram-u / body of the mountain, walking residency On Country/In Residence,  site-responsive performance program Dancing Place: Corhanwarrabul and exhibition Force of Nature. Our purpose is to facilitate profound experiences of place.
