The Vision is a free, one-off 60 minute performance by Robyn Jordaan in collaboration with Olivia McGregor.

The Vision’s kaupapa explores consent and boundaries of an artistic maker, taking social distancing into choreographic consideration. It's a way for the audience to feel safe to take in, observe, enjoy and experience live art again. The vision is queer and nonbinary, exploring how identities can be represented in movement and dance. The vision is spectacle, the vision is dance, the vision is in the vessel of both performer and audience member experiencing aural and visual pleasure again.
