Rafaela Pandolfini is a Sydney based artist whose subject matter revolves around themes of ritual in contemporary life. Via a beautifully intricate use of performance, dance, and decoration Pandolfini vividly explores how modern notions of ritual are expressed outside of the usual guises of religion and regional ethnicity.
During her residency at The Rocks Pop Up Rafaela will work on YOU.DANCE. a project about dance as ritual in contemporary society featuring 4 diverse subjects dancing in costume. The video piece will be screened during an open studio, she will also be taking the performers to the streets and creating a discussion blog for people visiting the Rocks to observe and get involved with.
