My brain isn't working so I thought of you


Some places. Some people. Friends, and my studio. I think the biggest thing which has come from this transient lifestyle is that people and places have become very important to me. I think this is because being transient forces you to become conscious of where you're staying, and the people you're around (who keep you sane). I feel like a lone wolf at the moment.

Asleep in a Secret - Melbourne Fringe



On the 24th of September 2009, Asleep in a Secret premièred in the 2009 Melbourne Fringe Festivals hub, Errol’s Upstairs. The show was an experiment in story telling but about a topic I'd rather not speak of. Tricks play a big part in this kind of un-communication. Pushed, pulled, broken, obscured, drowned. When the rules are broken what else can tricks say beond the mechanical action, or is it everything else which then talks ten times as loud?


"There's a cold purity to Asleep in a Secret that some may find offputting, but which I found enthralling" Richard Watts


"Calling this show circus themed is a stretch of the imagination." Artshub


"It was a credit to the men that by the end of the performance they seemed likeable, seeing they alienated the audience so completely so many times." Express Media


"Gellmann’s skill in is showing just how hard even the most typical of circus acts actually are, and making you feel that danger. Even if he’s just standing on a block a foot off the ground." John Bailey

Devised and performed: SKYE GELLMANN
Performer and Projector operator: PAUL BONGIORNO
Artistic consultant: TERRI CAT SILVERTREE, OWEN ELVIN
