When your Body Can’t Move but Your Mind Can Still Travel: The Answer is Art
Come throw the windows wide open and enjoy the view of our latest online exhibition.

When the four walls close in it’s time to find a window into another world. One where love, sweet love is not just for some but for everyone. We’re inviting you to immerse yourself in spectacular colours, layers of wonder and prisms of light right where you are. Join us for an online exhibition exploring the energetic work of Australian abstract expressionist, Lara Scolari.

Lara’s latest body of work, Vim Vitae captures the life force that bubbles and bursts invisibly all around us, and burns just as brightly in our body and minds even as we sit still; especially as we sit still. Celebrating our creative energy, Lara’s paintings are a reminder that renewal is a constant available to all of us. Her signature organic motifs are conjured into shape with rope and other natural materials and rendered in swirls of ink up to 40 layers deep.

The effect is like looking into the deep through crystal clear waters – we can’t change the nature of things but we can shift our perception and evolve. “I create landscapes of life force,” explains Lara. “I’m tapping into vibrations and responding to the moment,” which can be felt in the dynamic brushstrokes and shapes that echo something bubbling under the surface.

“What gives me the greatest joy is seeing the effect that the paintings have on a viewer. The energy of my work prompts a dialogue that continues between the artwork and the person observing it, long after I’ve finished. And each time they look at it, it seems to change, like the quality of stained glass,” says Lara. We invite you to see for yourself. Get outside your four walls and transcend your current view with a look at inside via our Vim Vitae: The Journey Within online gallery.

In a time when it’s easy to doubt, Lara reminds us of the richness of our scenery and interior spaces. Her bold use of colour, depth of layers and energetic movement encourage us to give reverence and gratitude, rather than wallow in scarcity. Her paintings feel like a celebration; an uplifting of the ordinary that allows us to see beauty in the every day.

Lock the room doors and get ready to bust the cabbage patch, turn up the volume and karaoke with the posse over webcam, order delivery cocktails from your favourite local bar and pour a tipple two-three for the highs, or get dressed with anything that’s not #StayHome clothes – just don’t forget the lyrics, stay in and truly dance like no one’s watching.

Eatmepoptart Classics 02 // Twitch
Fri 29 May 2020, 10pm – 12am
with weelikeme & KiDG
twitch.tv/eatmepoptart

The last Friday of the month usually means that it’s time for another sweaty round of fist-pumping, chorus-screaming, feet-stomping rock n roll cardio, but during this period, we do it at our own bedrooms. *cries*

We’d love to have everyone on a dancefloor again, but it seems like we’ll need to go the way of Twitch for the next few months. So following up from our previous stream rock out, here’s another round of Eatmepoptart Classics for all the Popettes to go a lil more mental on a Friday night. weelikeme & KiDG take the wheel and bring you all the sweet and fatty goodness streamed straight to your tender indie hearts.

Stack up on the booze as we’re going for another wild bumpy rock n roll ride into the unknown!

Never Lose That Feeling.

The show is free but if you could, tips will be much appreciated. The funds collected will go into supporting the Eatmepoptart crew of creators, designers and DJs who have working to organise and execute these shows and hopefully for bringing you a little joy in your locked-down lives.

Event Details

The unexpected Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the cancellation of many performances worldwide and impacted the performing arts community greatly.

While it has been disheartening for artists and arts groups who worked hard for our craft, and a loss for the audience who are unable to enjoy new creations; many have responded by putting up past works online which we would otherwise not have the opportunity to watch, making efforts to engage with the community with short videos and free classes, and sharing their creation process and thoughts freely.

So, we hope to celebrate with all the the artists in the world — who never stopped giving and making this little stay-home period for everyone a little more bearable, fun and enriching. In the spirit of celebrating the end of the Circuit Breaker together, join us in our online performance, “Survei:ance”.

Reimagining the digital space as a stage, we explore the idea of watching and being watched along with the situations and context that justifies or condemns it. We invite you to have a glimpse of the performers moving in their homes, for a limited time only.

The performance will take place on the Zoom platform and streamed over Facebook Live.

While the experience of watching a performance on a screen can never be compared to that of a live show, we humbly ask that you allow us to bring some of that magic to your home. We hope that you can continue to support and enjoy dance beyond physical interaction and boundaries.

[Registration]
Please register via bit.ly/surveiance so we are able to send you some necessary information for the performance.

[Donation]
This performance is donation-based.
If you enjoyed our performance and if what we do speaks to you, we will be most grateful for any amount that you can donate.
You can make donations via PAYNOW to:
