The Lady Painters
Based in Sydney
About this act
The Lady Painters is a roving performer from Bondi, New South Wales.
Paint becomes the medium for movement in this Bondi-based act, where performers use hands, feet and faces to apply colour as part of a dance. The performance treats the act of painting itself as choreography, with the ritual of laying down colour moved through the body. It first appeared at The Great Escape Sydney, and the format combines painting with performance. Guests are invited to join in and paint alongside the performers, which turns a roving act into something closer to a shared activity for the crowd nearby.
