The Mackay community has an opportunity to experience a new style of performance this Friday, June 26, thanks to 3 emerging artists studying at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, CQUniversity Mackay.

As part of a 2-week project, the artists have come together to create a contemporary performance installation: an integration of movement, sound, lighting and video imagery; a program allowing the artists to expand their creativity and performance skills.

Project M.U.D has been created with a new approach to performance which is bold, exciting and provides the audience with a profound sense of freedom - to observe - to listen - with space to contemplate.

Jordan Edmeades, director of M.U.D and CQCM student stated that being part of this exhibition has been amazing journey. 

"We have been given a space to work our theatrical magic.  We've tried to find a cross between live performance and an art exhibition that promises to be a journey into another world: a world for the senses.

"In addition to being an actor, I have dabbled in many different areas of theatre including lighting, sound and more recently video production, so this is an opportunity to bring them all together."

"I have the freedom to imagine my world, and then create it.   And that's what this piece is all about.  We're exploring the inner struggles that we all fight inside ourselves, so in a way the world will be an artistic representation of what goes on inside all of us."

The exhibition is free and will be performed from 7pm on Friday, June 26, at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, CQUniversity Mackay.

Come along and experience the sensory world of performance art at its most raw.
