The Checkerthing
The Checkerthing is a roaming performance of 6 to 8 artists in full body checkerboard bodysuits. This group of mysterious creatures play and improvise with the people and the landscape that surrounds them. They add a perfect amount of surprise, wonder and fascination to a festival or an event by bringing an artistic lens to spaces and interacting with the audience in a playful way. We performed at Otherworld in 2023, Bass Coast and LunaFest in 2024.
