Dancehouse is on Wurundjeri Country. We offer our respects to the Wurundjeri woi-wurrung people — and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people — who continue to dance on Country, and have done, for thousands of generations. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

— collecting, recollecting and collectivising

Flute, Bottle, Performer – each mouth a container, a leaky Well. Bodies separate, and together: Ready. A dreamlike dislodgement of sound~ing and face~ing, edging towards something or nothing, holding and beholden to the real and imagined occurrences at work.

Water, welling and accumulating, weighty with wishes, passes between gargling containers. Mouths are coated with the wishes of others: they collect, recollect and collectivise.

Sync Well refrains from unfolding, instead folding in on itself to reveal its mechanisms; mechanisms for togethering.

Molly McKenzie is a performer and choreographer working on Wurundjeri country, Naarm/Melbourne. Molly primarily works from the artistic partnership, gemma+molly, with Gemma Sattler. Utilising the potential of choreography as a structure independent of dance, they devise performance that choreographs attention, space and bodies, both animate and inanimate. Molly graduated with a BFA from the Victorian College of the Arts (2021). Her work has been presented at FELTspace (2025), KINGS Artist-Run (2025), PICA x STRUT Dance (2024), Dancehouse (2023), Temperance Hall (2023), and has been supported by Lucy Guerin Inc and the Ian Potter Cultural Trust.  Molly has recently worked with Angela Goh during the historic acquisition process of Goh’s work Body Loss for the permanent collection of the University of Melbourne Art Museums. Within this process, Molly has undertaken the role of performer at Buxton Contemporary, Naarm (2024), and choreographic installer at Museo Experimental el Eco, Mexico City (2025).

Grey Dear is an interdisciplinary artist and discursive practitioner with special interests in collectivity, ecosomatics and perceptual experience.
