Us And All Of This is a mesmerising public space performance that invites up to 100 community members to move together in an act of radical slowness, offering a rare moment of calm reflection.

Created by Liesel Zink, with sound artist Lawrence English, the performance momentarily unfolds across urban public spaces – exploring assembly and collectively as an antidote to a capitalistic era of over-productivity, disembodiment, and dislocation.

Taking place at Buhk Park, Alex Headlands, this large-scale meditative piece challenges the rise of social isolation, bringing together a rich tapestry of people from varying backgrounds, cultures, ages and abilities to deliver a moment of togetherness via movement – celebrating the joy of creating something with others.

Us And All Of This rejects the positioning of humans as something separate to the environment, and challenges the fast-paced, isolated structure of society. Performers move with the landscape, acknowledging our place as one-part of a complex ecology in a ritual of coming together.

Let yourself slow down and soak up the gentle act of shared creation.

Us and All Of This performances are part of The Last Sunday event so pack your picnic blanket and head down for the day.
