Conversation with dancer and choreographer JASMIN SHEPPARD about PREPARING GROUND – a new dance work that invites us to join First Peoples’ care of Land as an urgent act for our shared future.
PREPARING GROUND is a First Nations-led dance work co-directed by pioneering indigenous artist Marilyn Miller, alongside Jasmin Sheppard and Katina Olsen. It dances of the future Future—a world where care for Country and community continues generationally. It reminds us that our survival depends on an enduring relationship with the land, and that the path forward is one we must walk together.

Also featured on the show, a music from SOUND THE ALARM, a 16-piece ensemble led by double bassist Clayton Thomas, in response to the genocide in Palestine.
The track was recorded during their live performance at Johnston Street Jazz (June 2024). The music is a composed improvisation, described by Clayton as “a sonic allegory and a simple way to collect human energy in the right place for the right reasons.”
All the proceeds from the album go towards humanitarian aid in Gaza: https://claytonthomas.bandcamp.com
Originally aired on Eastside Radio 89.7FM on 12 May 2025.
The track featured at the very beginning is by Samuel Pankhurst who is a sound designer on PREPARING GROUND.
Sympoiesis radio show is produced on the Gadigal land of the Eora nation, traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respect and gratitude to the elders past, present, and yet to come.

EP61: Michelle St Anne, The Living Room Theatre (The Seeping Woman)
Conversation with the Artistic Director of The Living Room Theatre, Michelle St Anne, about their latest work THE SEEPING WOMAN.
The LIVING ROOM THEATRE has been in existence for more than 20 years and is known for giving voice to the unspoken and unseen. They create works that are non-linear and composed through movement, light, sound, and atmosphere – rather than the rigidity of the given language.
In making the Living Room Theatre works, Michelle St Anne often reaches out to collaborators who come from diverse art disciplines. This time – for The Seeping Woman – she is collaborating with digital artist LINDA DEMENT, dancer ANCA FRANKENHAEUSER, and musicians MARY RAPP & NIKI JOHNSON.
The Seeping Woman is described as a site-specific work that focuses on gestures both human and digital held within the seepage of fluids, fabric and observations.
