heart collective
tallulah holly-massey and alexa wilson
have worked as freelance dancers/choreographers in new zealand for the past ten years and danced for some of the country's most prestigious and up and coming choreographers. they have collaborated in dance and film on four different highly experimental projects- some of which have won awards in nz and australia- and helped initiate several co-ops/collectives, which were platforms for a new school emergence of dance in nz. they hope to do this here with ‘heart collective’ where there is a wider variety of people interested in interdisciplinary collaboration.

'polar pop'
this work is the very fledgling stage of physical explorations around simultaneously evolving and devolving as an amorphous species, which is human/animal. like regressing to infancy whilst withering in age, facades melting like icebergs, habitats disintegrating, values shifting. who are we? like a newborn animal/human learning to crawl, fragile, tenuous - fighting for its existence in a harsh environment to grow/evolve- maybe shedding dysfunctionality on the way- mixed with endangered animal on the brink of its existence struggling to survive/adapt and question marks carved on the dawning of a new age. is consciousness evolving? so we grow anyway, towards a new ideal emerging- ‘growing together’ in a ritualistic birthing away from a self-centred, individualistic, hierarchical paradigm- towards a progressive, supportive, collaborative, evolved model of social existence based on sharing expression and caring for each other whilst honouring the planet- as families of animals do- as they must do for their very survival. we have a lot to learn yet in our d/evolvement.

conor creighton
grew up in a tiny village in the irish midlands with sheep and cows as his closest friends. he moved to berlin about a year ago and since then has discovered that people can make for excellent companions too. conor earns his keep telling stories in magazines and mixing drinks in bars. at the springsalon he'll probably be doing one or the other.

mike kitcher
with the moonshoelovers ep i set out to make something a little unpredictable and fun to listen to. i wanted sparseness as well as clear, but sometimes boisterous, melodic and at times trippy compositions which emphasize my need for conceptual and potential film score musics,,,,,, there we're no samples used, only vst instruments coexisting with the contrasting sounds of my field recording endeavors from which you'll hear noises from a day trip to 'toysrus' to the dismantlement of a piano to the delicate sound of pin drops, all creating a collage of intricate abstract isms whilst maintaining a fresh and accessible sound, each piece with it's own diverse tale. credits to friend jon kenner for lending some words on "leather face" and maxime bobo for kindly supplying me with some sax on "taksi ride" and "dog days"
