Over the weekend, a welcoming gallery space in Leichhardt became a platform for 11 performers connected in varying degrees to BodyWeather, a movement concept that grew out of the Japanese dance form of butoh.
The link between them all, along with their presentation by De Quincey Co, was the use of the body to explore ideas in a questing way, some more persuasively than others.
Often the performers' thoughts were obscure, so even with the backing of musicians and a scattering of visual artists, it wasn't until explanatory notes were offered at the end that the depth of some thought processes became clear.
