Sometimes, in a world promoting human connection via screens, the most
genuine moments can still feel distant regardless of the space between us.

of love across diverse perspectives in a world where 'distance' is something
more relevant in our relationships than ever! "Phi cultivates a kind and
compassionate view of the world and draws you into her loving embrace as she
learns to love herself through mishaps and mayhem to the ultimate happy
ending." Mindshare.
"...to break down social barriers, bring people together, move them with the
power of her music. Give yourself some credit, Phi. You have that power as
well." Advertiser.

conversations and challenge social stigma.

Additional Information
This time for sure. With every project we risk things blowing up in our
faces, began the copy for this OH&S nightmare in last years brochure.
Well, as we now know, nightmares really can come true, but Lee Wilsons left
scaphoid has fully recovered and, hard as it is to believe, hes climbed
back on that horse. Heart in your mouth, youll watch as, poker-faced, he
scales collapsing cardboard-box towers, or hangs precariously from
sticky-tape bridges, or entrusts his future mobility to the dubious
weight-bearing properties of cheaply made office consumables. In High
Performance Packing Tape, award-winning, cutting-edge performance company
Branch Nebula (Wilson with collaborating artists Mirabelle Wouters, Mickie
Quick, and Phil Downing) has forged a performance that dares to ask is a
life without danger worth living? Its messy, terrifying, deeply
challenging to accepted notions of comfort and safety, and incredible fun.
Youll peer through parted fingers, thrill to his successes, wince at his
failures and try hard to contain your uproarious laughter. Bring plenty of
teenagers, but dont let them near Officeworks afterwards.
Superb... Skilled, inventive and risk taking. REAL TIME
