Rinse is an intimate yet epic solo performance about the allure of new beginnings.

Dancer and choreographer Amrita Hepi weaves personal narratives with the history of colonialism, art, feminism and pop culture, and asks: is it possible to start again?

Hepi’s electric new performance, co-created with Mish Grigor, questions whether being on the brink of extinction—a series of endings of various kinds—has intensified the seduction of the past. With a dynamic improvisational score, Rinse expands Hepi’s fascination with hybridity under empire and contemporary dance’s fixation with the ‘neutral’ body.

This Bundjalung (Australia) and Ngāpuhi (Aotearoa/New Zealand) multidisciplinary artist unfolds her research through movement, celebrating dance as a place of memory and resistance.
