SNACK WITCH / SNACK TOUR: YOU x SNACK WITCH

The participant will be provided with a postcard featuring a map of local shops and stops offering delicious refreshments, along with a $20 snack budget. They will then disperse to purchase their desired treats and reconvene with their fresh goodies. While enjoying their (long-time or new) favourites in good company, the group will host a space to share personal connections to the foods they've brought together.

The first 10 individuals to RSVP at education@fonderiedarling.org will receive a $20 snack budget. Anyone joining without an RSVP or after the first 10 spots are filled is still very welcome to participate — they will simply need to cover the cost of their snacks.

CAMILLE HUANG / Puncture and Pull

Puncture and Pull is an inquiry into contact between the gendered body and the 'puncture and pull' of the sewing machine. Objects, sound and dance converge to explore attributions surrounding repetition, touch, machinery and its parts. Looking into the body's relation to gendered labour and industry, the performer inhabits gestures in an open choreographic exploration outside of Fonderie Darling's Place Publique. Describing the motion of a sewing needle, "puncture and pull" also has an unlikely convergence with the predatory chewing mechanism of some animals.

Their choreographic works have been presented at SummerWorks Festival, OFFTA, Festival Entractes and Tangente.
