Give Me A Microphone & Some Warm Bodies

‘Give Me A Microphone & Some Warm Bodies’ is a collaborative initiative established by CoExist Collective.

Founded on the notion of fostering sustainable artistic practices for emerging artists, ‘Give Me A Microphone & Some Warm Bodies’ provides two emerging artists with a platform to share the things they want to say and make the things they want to make.

In 2023, CoExist commissioned Angelica Menta & Byron Lewis to create two original contemporary dance works. We are extremely proud to have supported Angelica & Byron in choreographing the first iteration of their works, ‘Layered Point’ and ‘Cover Me [In F*cking Glitter]’.

Their creative voices are a testament to a community of emerging artists who continually inspire unique vision and dedication to creating a space which honors the future of Australia’s vibrant cultural landscape.

This double bill season is the culmination of hours of dedication, exploration, and collaboration, and is a reflection of CoExist’s mission to provide opportunities and support emerging artists within an uplifting and supportive environment.
