Digital Dance Practice: Artist Talk

About

Join independent Sydney-based dance artists Ella Watson-Heath and Ashleigh Veitch as they share their ongoing digital practice and research, exploring the relationship between digital identity and lived experience.

Through case studies of their previous work, Ella and Ashleigh will discuss how choreography and digital-physical tools can help us navigate uncertainty, alongside reflections on the importance of shared physical experience.

The talk includes a behind-the-scenes look at Watson-Heath’s STILL FALL, a work using chroma-key technology and layered physicality to question how we perceive truth.

Ella and Ashleigh are visiting Brighton from Dance Makers Collective in Sydney, Australia, developing their work during a RAPPORT residency at South East Dance in October 2026.
