Rabbit Punch
Rabbit Punch (in-development) is an experimental sonic and physical performance that connects the depiction of boxing to the collective experience of learning to box. A company of creatives engaged in a rigorous and generative process of physically devising the work from personal and community experiences, collated research and archival material. Rabbit Punch explores the dynamics and foundations of power, empowerment, identity, vulnerability, social systems, the presence of fear, and the representations of strength. Rabbit Punch interrogates the question: when and why do we learn how to fight?
The first-stage development of Rabbit Punch was awarded funding and supported by WA's Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.
