Alex Tálamo
Alex Tálamo’s solo works draw on choreographic strategies to explore autobiographic research, military mythology, and cultural memory, within which she pays close attention to the often slippery, in‑between, and undocumented ways in which we understand notions of belonging and relation. Her work reflects the experience and labour of intergenerational memory from the perspective of an artist working within aesthetic lineages, and as a daughter of a migrant living within a border‑anxious state. Her practice as a theatre director engages a process of slow dramaturgy, working with ensembles over a long duration to create physically based performances, usually through devised processes.
Alex Tálamo’s work explores the inherited memories and colonial nostalgias that appear and erupt within the contemporary Australian body.
