시엘 메탈릭
시엘 메탈릭 은 선택한 공간에서 소리와 움직임, 그리고 이들의 관계를 음악 공연의 형태로 탐구하는 시작을 알립니다. '하늘'을 뜻하는 'Ciel'은 에테르의 영역과 덧없음을 의미하며, 메탈릭(금속성)은 기억, 반성, 속박에 대한 아이디어를 떠올리게 합니다.
협업자들은 공동의 지도와 창의적인 경계를 통해 금속, 목소리, 타악기를 주요 음색으로 하여 관계, 형태, 즉흥적인 움직임으로 상호 작용과 거리라는 개념을 바탕으로 일회성, 주변 소리 탐험을 만들어냅니다.

Through Buried Tea Bowl, Yumi will be reaching out to local female participants from the broad creative and noncreative community that envelops the Abbotsford Convent.
What is Pivot?
We all know the world has changed and the way we connect with audiences is also changing, requiring all of us to—forgive the buzz word—pivot. We’ve thought a lot about pivoting in an arts context and, at the Convent, we believe that to pivot, the artist is central to the situation, effecting a new balance that will ultimately benefit audiences and the community. At the same time, we have noticed that there hasn’t been a lot of investment in artists having the time and space to experiment with what this changing world means—and that is what inspired the program.
Abbotsford Convent’s Pivot is a short-term residency program supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria. From May – September 2021, the Convent is providing 22 lead artists money, space, time and support for their practice as well as access to audience insight and a professional research team.
To achieve the research and evaluation component of Pivot, Abbotsford Convent has partnered with research agency Patternmakers. Patternmakers works alongside a range of different arts organisations, and is currently leading the COVID-19 Audience Outlook Monitor in Australia. This work provides insight into how participation is changing. It’s designed to help artists and cultural organisations connect with audiences during the pandemic and beyond.
As part of Pivot, artists will have direct access to Patternmakers, at the outset, this will include a briefing on the latest insights into audience attitudes, behaviours and barriers, designed to inform and support artistic investigations. Patternmakers will also work with artists to capture their insights and learnings during the residencies, and will produce an evaluation report for the Pivot program—the type of evaluation independent artist and small arts organisations and collectives can rarely access.
Pivot is an opportunity for artists to focus on creatively adapting practice to respond metaphorically and/or practically to the current time, to generate new ways of engaging with presenters, communities and audiences.
