The Subtle Body is a workshop that will tread across many boundaries and amalgamate many different forms and techniques, including Chi Gung, contemporary dance, floor work, yoga and theatre. We will attempt to bridge the gap between these disciplines to plunder them for their usefulness with a desire to work ‘energetically’ in performance and with an awareness of our ‘subtle body’.

Along with Grayson Millwood, Gavin is co-Artistic Director of THE FARM, based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Throughout his career Gavin has worked between Australia and Europe and directed theatre, dance, circus, film and installation. He spent the majority of his early performance career with Meryl Tankard ADT and Belgian company Ultima Vez. As Artistic Director of Dancenorth he took the company from regional Australia to national and international touring and his work has received many awards including six Greenroom awards in a single year. He was co-founder of Collaborative ensemble Splintergroup and Animal Farm Collective, early incarnations of THE FARM, whose work has been seen across four continents. THE FARM have recently premiered Cockfight, which will be performing next at APAM in Brisbane and are currently creating their latest work as part of Bleach festival in March.
