Grace Walpole's new show: Mathematicals Models of the Sublime
Trapped inside every circle is a small instance of infinity.
Studio 202 is proud to have supported Walpole & Sister in the development of their new performance work Mathematical Models of the Sublime.
Mathematical Models of the Sublime wanders through the wonder of infinity: the magic of the number pi, the majesty of the universe and our logarithmic perceptions of our bodies. With a piece of string and some diagrams, Grace Walpole’s solo performance reveals the beauty in the everyday, uncovering the astonishing in the ordinary.
This production follows on from Walpole & Sister's successful 2009 season of Short Dissertations on Sleep, and continues their style of lyrical performance-essay exploring the edges of art, science and philosophy using dance and narrative.
Walpole & Sister are Grace Walpole and Helen Walpole, two sisters with a passion for finding the art in science. Grace is a founding member of The Little Con and regularly performs as a dancer in Melbourne and around Australia. Helen is a museum curator, writer and designer.
Mathematical Models of the Sublime will be performed at Dancehouse from 14th -18th July. For more information and to book click here: http://www.dancehouse.com.au/performance/performancedetails.php?id=83
"Melbourne's magical medical doctor of dance has created an intriguing piece of theatre ... Walpole leads us through a brilliantly factual but crisply metaphoric process, drawing wonderfully clever parallels between brain waves and architecture, between giraffes and dance ... Grace and her sister Helen are clearly architects; builders of theatre using science to forge intellectually idiosyncratic art. It's challenging, even daring stuff." Review of Short Dissertations on Sleep in Dance Informa Magazine Sept 2009
Limina: A dance solo and video installation
Limina from Studio 202 on Vimeo.
At the point where one thing becomes another, for a moment it is both. Limina describes these threshold moments, merging psychological and physical spaces, memory and present, dream and reality, to create an environment where linearity is rearranged and we exist in multiple places at once.

Michaela Pegum - Biography
Michaela creates within the mediums of dance, video and graphics. She works with improvisation and imagery to create evocative, semi - abstract live landcapes.
Over the past 10 years she has created a number of solo dance works and dance videos/installations. In 2009 with the support of a CultureLab grant from the City of Melbourne and Dancehouse, she created Limina - a dance solo and video installation - for the Dance Massive festival. This was re-worked and performed later in the year at Studio 202. In 2009 she was also in residence at Victoria University through the Solo Performance Residency Program and travelled to Europe on an artistic reasearch trip. She is currently developing a new solo work.
