“ALIENS OF EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY” is a one night happening and terrestrial encounter that’s a little bit extra, where performance and art get intimate on the dancefloor.
Curated by Temperance Hall’s Artistic Associate Luke George, this whole venue takeover includes an epic line-up of some of Naarm’s most electric artists working in dance, sound, visual installation and costume design, intersecting with revered party priestess of Naarm, DJ Stev Zar live-mixing an empowering set of genre blending beats to charge your body and soul.
“ALIENS” is inspired by Luke’s time living in Brooklyn, New York City between 2010–2017, and his participation in the many grass-roots and community/artist-led performance events led by the expansive and diverse artists and queers of New York.
“ALIENS OF EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY” takes its title from the bizarre name of the artist-visa required for a creative to enter, reside and work in the USA. These happenings intend to reclaim “othering” and transform such through a gathering that celebrates the electric, inclusive and spontaneous energy of Naarm’s incredible alternative queer party scene.
