AWOL residents Laura McGee and Stefanie Elrick are performing in a special one night only pop-up exhibition curated by Instigate Arts at HOMEmcr. Having worked together for over a decade this duo are renowned for their abstract dance performances and immersive theatre experiences all over the world.

Laura and Stefanie have devised a 2hr dance piece called compenSATE which “looks at the way we consciously and subconsciously compete with each through the way we look. Beautification rituals are often designed to make us stand out or attract the attention of others, but they more often than not remove us from our true beauty.”
