Momentum by Women's Circus

Arts Centre Melbourne, 15 to 17 September 2022

A public, site-specific circus performance, 'Momentum' invites the audience to take a journey, experiencing moments of connectedness, change and possibility.

A series of photos by Theresa Harrison documenting the creation of Momentum, was presented in the Franklin Street frames in 2022.

Momentum is co-commissioned by Arts Centre Melbourne and the Metro Tunnel Creative Program as part of Alter State, a major disability arts festival celebrating contemporary art and live performance by artists from Australia and Aotearoa (NZ).
