ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In the spirit of reconciliation, I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of

the land and waterways I live and work on, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. I pay

my respects to their elders past, present and future and recognise that sovereignty was

never ceded . Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Gina Gascoigne is lighting designer with over 30 years of experience. She spent

many years touring in Europe as a lighting designer and operator, working with contemporary dance groups (including four years with the catalan group Mal Pelo) as well as physical theatre companies. 

In Australia she has worked for different groups and directors including Kamarra Bell-Wykes, A Daylight Connection, Archie Roach, Maude Davey, Susie Dee, CIrcus Oz,Top Acts, Melbourne Festival, Adelaide Festival, La Fura dels Baus, Outer Urban Projects, NICA, Chamber Made Opera, Lou Bennett, Kate Hunter, Castlemaine Festival, Citizen Theatre, Union Theatre, Angus Cerini, Flying Fruit Fly Circus, Women’s Circus, Westside Circus, Snuff Puppets, Platform Youth Theatre.

 

As an artist Gina’s sculpture-based practice draws on her background in lighting and somatic education to investigate the sensory and psychological effects natural and manmade landscapes have on how we place ourselves in the world. She utilises everyday materials to create works that develop a sense of narrative within the surfaces, examining notions of memory, time and place.

 

She is also a qualified Feldenkrais practitioner.
