Choral Edge presents: ORIGAMI

Fold, turn, unfold, flip, fold, fold, unfurl.

Songs unfold and paper sings as choir and origami unite in a real-time dialogue between the narratives, rhythms, colours and textures found in each artform.

With nods to origami’s Japanese heritage through traditional songs, as well as excursions through contemporary Australian, Asian and American music, ORIGAMI explores the diverse worlds of contemporary choral music and origami practice in a playful and illuminating collaboration. Choral Edge’s expressive and boundary-pushing approach to choral music comes alive with real-time projections, time-lapses and artefacts made by artists Sukanya Deshmukh and Stephanie Lai, culminating in a joyful collision of song and paper.

Doors open 30 minutes before each performance for those who fancy a cup of tea and some origami.

Artistic Director: Juliana Kay
Origami artists: Sukanya Deshmukh and Stephanie Lai
