Charlotte Kindl is a multi-disciplinary artist living on unceded Darug and Guri Ngai land in Sydney's North. She blends her background in dance with textile manipulation to create performance works which examine idea of chance, self-discovery, and place.
Her works archive phenomological experiences in nature and in movement and iextend to the audience as a kind of offering. Bathed in the smells, sounds, and sights of places of love, comfort and tranquillity, the audience is enveloped in the memories and mediations of my experiences in nature, drawing from parks, my travels, and backyards. In documenting mishappens and realisations, candid moments are held and celebrated. Two individuals are brought closer together, not through conversation but through movement, vulnerability and unknowing.
