Tess de Quincey has worked extensively in Europe, Japan and Australia as a performer, teacher and director. Her performance work is based in the Body Weather practice which was founded by Min Tanaka and his Mai-Juku Performance Co, Japan with whom she was a dancer from 1985 until 1991. Her teaching and performance practice in different terrains - from city to desert - around the world has engendered a series of works concerned with inhabitation and the nature of place..
Stuart Grant is a phenomenologist at the Department of Performance Studies, The University of Sydney. He is an experienced performer and a singer by trade. For the last few years he has been working from audiences in completion of a PhD. Previously he worked with De Quincey Co on the beach, in the asphalt, on the floor and in the red Centre. He lives a quiet life at Byron Bay where he likes to go fishing.
