’B**ch’ by Water Closette Co.
“In the before, Tide gave us two high tides and two low tides every day.
But that all changed when the birds fell out of the sky…. among other things.”
It’s the end of the human era.
Six creatures pick at life along the shoreline, clutching at traces of the past and playing games to distract themselves from their washed-up present.
With B**CH, Water Closette creates a truly absurd world where hope, though entirely necessary, might be the most absurd thing of all.

Sounds of the Steps
These are the sounds from the steps outside the VCA theatre building, captured on Boonwurrung Country. We used to rest there, make plans there, and count down the days till we could leave.
This sound piece was created alongside the women with whom I fought the University of Melbourne in a public campaign in 2022. We protested the University’s mishandling of sexual assault and harassment complaints, which ultimately resulted in a public apology and several policy changes.
This piece was produced while we were in the midst of news interviews, social media campaigning and a heated public debate around our experiences, and, in going back to a place that held so many memories of our university days, we aimed to reclaim it with this work.
