Bedtime for one
Integrating visual and sound design, Bedtime for One is an intimate and immersive audience experience. For one or two people at a time, audience members climb into the tiny bedroom and lie down on the bed. With eyes closed, each audience member is taken on a 5-minute trip into someone else’s dream. If the audience member keeps their eyes open, they will be able to make connections between the visual material – artwork and décor – and the dream they are hearing: Are not our dreams accidentally informed by the little things around us, but deeply shaped by the big things inside us?

This project was created on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.
