Venuri Perera, a young Sri Lankan woman dances under a spotlight. Her long brown curly hair cascades over the left side of her face as she stares into the distance. She is wearing a black lace leotard and black knee pads. Around her neck is a thick beaded necklace in red. As she hunches she pushes two brooms forward. The brooms are made out of wood and are long and wide. She has a broom tucked behind her, between her legs.

Magic Maids: Broomology 101
Craft
Dance
Workshop
Adults only
Event organiser:
Transform

In this three-hour workshop, the broom is used as a central axis connecting the archetypes of the witch and the housemaid.

Facilitated by artists Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera, the broom becomes a tool for playful transformation and somatic exploration.

Participants explore what it means to extend oneself through the broom, becoming one and becoming wild. Together, we’ll focus on the power of intention through movement and collectivity, and investigate the spectrum of beauty and monstrosity.

This workshop is open to all and ideal for anyone looking to gain a deeper insight into the powerful modes of physicality and performance interwoven within Magic Maids.

Please bring your own broom!
