“Service is born from years of experience in the hospitality industry. Every night in restaurants around the Illawarra, milestones, birthday parties, first dates (and breakups) all happen. The aim of the piece is to create a bold and experimental piece of movement/mime/ dance theatre that captures the essence of these moments in the full gamut of their joy, humour, grief, and community.

This project serves as a love letter to an industry that is prolific within the arts community and paying homage to hospitality workers who facilitate so many milestone moments in the lives of community. It is also an industry in which I have grown up, working in it since I was a teenager into my mid-twenties, and has provided a formative springboard to develop skills and collaborate with a host of people I would never have gotten to without it. I have at many times despised the industry but never forgotten how beautiful and impactful it can be and I aim to reflect both of these ideas.”
