Weaving Vibrant
October 2025
What is the energy of connection? A pulsating push and pull, a tension and release of woven threads, a process of making and unmaking, a cat's cradle, a creative matrix that reflects the forces mirrored in body and land.
Flowing down Orr St, the MADE dancers offered Weaving Vibrant as an exploration of deeper hidden elemental agency, the vitality that moulds and shapes communities and individuals within them. Weaving Vibrant drew inspiration from women as weavers and storytellers across time and place. MADE danced the deep ties that connect us, reweaving ourselves back into the fabric of life, the tapestry of the universe.
Audiences found their vantage points on Crib Road, and followed the dancers for a new experience each day of The Unconformity Festival 2025.
