SUMMARY:RISING: Festival Opening at The Square
DESCRIPTION:For three nights marking the opening of RISING\, Fed Square transforms into an open-air canvas for Cannupa Hanska Luger’s Midéegaadi. \nWarm up by the fire pits as this massive multi-channel video piece dances across Fed Square. Cuppas and hot chocolates will be on hand\, Killara Foundation brings community to the barbie with a reimagined sausage sizzle celebrating First Nations flavours and native ingredients\, and there are beanbags and deck chairs to sink into. \nAfter lighting up Times Square last year\, Midéegaadi arrives in Narrm on Wurundjeri Country. Beneath the city glow\, Fed Square becomes a place to connect — to each other\, and to something larger. The Times Square iteration was an invitation to envision the regeneration and return of the North American bison: a meditation on the importance of more-than-human kin to Luger’s community and local Indigenous peoples. \nFor RISING\, a new iteration and a new context — here\, Midéegaadi considers how First Peoples globally interconnect through dance and new media\, honouring Ancestral knowledge. Incorporating customary dance and figures wearing newly made regalia inspired by Luger’s Ancestors and Indigenous futurisms\, it is a testament to the power of contemporary Indigenous practice in cultural continuity — and a resistance to ongoing colonial attempts to diminish it.

SUMMARY:Ants at Fed Square
DESCRIPTION:Ants as big as humans work together intently\, collecting and placing hundreds of giant bread crumbs\, and children are irresistibly drawn closer to find out how they can join in. \nGradually a world of meaning unfolds\, with children’s movement making lines and patterns\, transforming public space and disrupting the everyday. Children choose how they interact with the big insects\, becoming Ant-like creatures themselves and taking part in their world. \nThis is an enchanting and unusual experience that everyone can enjoy at their own pace. \n“It made you think deeply at little things.” – Audience member aged 10 \nThis season of Ants is presented by Fed Square and supported by the City of Melbourne. \nDates + Times:\nSaturday 11 April – Test Garden Open Day \n\n10.30am\n11.30am\n1.30pm\n2.30pm\n\nEdge Terrace\, Fed Square \nLearn more: fedsquare.com/events/test-garden-open-day-critter-heroes \nSunday 12 April \n\n10am\n11am\n1pm\n2pm\n\nThe Atrium\, Fed Square \nLearn more: fedsquare.com/events/ants-by-polyglot-theatre
