From the organiser

ALTER is a double bill of extraordinary dance and design exploring the interplay between body, identity and cross-cultural exchange. This cross-cultural collaboration between Australian and Malaysian artists is a beautiful offering of ephemeral visual art, illustrating the power of dissent through real and alternate realities.

ALTER is a presentation of two new works at Belco Arts, epitomising excellence in Canberra centred creativity. Led by Canberra artists of international repute in collaboration with leading ASEAN artists from Kuala Lumpur, a current UNESCO City of Design, both works have been supported by Creative Australia funding.

Born of design and innovation, ALTER is a double bill of dance works exploring the potential of new design technology in the interplay between body, identity and cross cultural exchange. Drawing on 35 years of Liz Lea's specialisation in classical Indian and contemporary dance, as well as focused research into the power of the Metaverse as an accretive design tool, ALTER brings technology to the fore to enable symbiotic interaction between real and virtual bodies, where movement creates visuals in a projected environment.

ALTER is presented by The BOLD Festival and Liz Lea Creates as part of the 2026 Craft + Design Festival, supported by ACT Government and Creative Australia.
