Dance placement

Third year VCA Dance student Zodie Bolic spent two weeks with the Buxton team across a variety of dates from June to October, as our nightshifts exhibition came to fruition.

As part of her creative reflections on the experience, Zodie recorded a series of movement responses in the nightshifts exhibition and contributed an essay to nightshift papers, edited by curators Annika Aitken and Hannah Presley, and designed by Ela Egidy and Tristan Main. The series evolved throughout the exhibition duration, and includes new contributions by interdisciplinary writers, artists and creative thinkers. 

‘I had the pleasure of spending two weeks with the Buxton team across a variety of dates from June to October. In this period, I participated in a number of day-to-day Buxton activities, including artist management, operation and creation of public programs, their commissioning process, grant writing and more … These reflections are a sincere and genuine attempt by myself to capture the impact my experiences at Buxton had upon myself, and to show how inspiring the nightshifts exhibition was creatively, in the context of working on my graduation season.’ – Zodie Bolic
