Ghosting Part 2 - Cabaret

* As part of New Performance Festival
By Sean Curham (Auckland)

Menacing, generous and finely detailed, Ghosting Part 2 is a genre-hopping cabaret where entertainment meets research.

An intensely playful, fully immersive work that gathers electricity, confetti, marching, and perfume into an untimely composition. The event is guided by audience selection from a menu of potential performance vignettes.

This is a mix tape of physical entertainment at the limit and always more than you bargained for. Ghosting Part 2 – Cabaret was first performed in 2011 as one of a six part series, Ghosting 1-6. This was a diverse collection of works, including a musical (Part 6) with 80 singers from the Greater Auckland Chorus, an oral histories project with residents of Selwyn Village and a performance ballet.

Sean Curham, a New Zealand choreographer and performance artist, is regarded by the arts community as a well-kept secret. Curham likes the idea of performance being a constant – that all things, activities, thoughts and actions are involved in the creation of his work. Everything is viable material from fence posts to lectures to gestures – anything at all. His latest project is a series of radio plays.
