Hot off the heels of Threshold:NRC at PACT earlier this year, REMOTE CONTROL is the second new full length solo work created and performed in 2018 by Dean Walsh.

In this new work, REMOTE CONTROL, Dean will choreographically investigate and showcase a series of realigned and reimagined ‘selves’ as a mature queer artist who was diagnosed as living with autism spectrum condition (ASC – Asperger’s Syndrome) and ADHD.  Dean has been an artist of national prominence for over two decades and many of his past works, solo and group, have unapologetically wrestled subject matter close to home and close-to-the-bone and always with humour, irony, wit and emotionally confronting components in equal measure.

REMOTE CONTROL is, in part, a history lesson in queer Sydney performance and dance culture, a GPS through psychological and emotional chaos brought about through surviving an extremely violent and homophobic upbringing and now being able to read the coordinates more clearly post NeuroQueer diagnosis. It is also a work of unbridled honesty, beauty and environmental hope.

Dean describes it as a “performed archive” as it looks at his 30 year career in Dance and the work also delves into issues of neuro-diversity and the way complex social and family backgrounds can have impact on well-being and perspective.

Presented by The Flying Nun: a showcase of the outcomes from Performing Arts residencies with Brand X at the East Sydney Community and Arts Centre,  REMOTE CONTROL from Dean Walsh plays 23 and 24 November.  Tickets from Eventbrite.
