Mystery Call
Mystery Call is a 1-to-1 conversation that is digitally delivered and connects us in community near and far. It is influenced by awareness of bodily diversities and disability cultures. It is an experience to be heard and embodied instead of being visually seen. The MindsEye Collective invites you to discover through acts of listening and movement: an experience of your own body, the history of our bodies and a relationship to the collective queer body. You can join the Mystery Call virtually wherever you are or in person with the MindsEye Collective. At an appointed time, you and your mystery call partner will engage in a supported pre-arranged online call with cameras off. Together you will be guided via conversational prompts to consider and safely share aspects of your present experience and your relationship with the spaces / places you are in. As a pair, you will select fragments of your conversation to share with the Mindseye Collective that will be woven into dance. The dances will be embodied in Naarm throughout the Midsumma Festival for anyone to witness. To end your call, you will be offered a dance that has been composed and translated from a previous pair's Mystery Call to read aloud to one another and embody if you wish. Mystery Call is a creation of the MindsEye collective; a Gadigal based collaboration between Alex Craig, Gabriela Green Olea and Imogen Yang. Formed in 2020, this collective is committed to creating experimental movement-based works that are inclusive of all people and engage with audience members as active participants, across time and space, geographical, virtual, systemic & social borders.
