MUD is an arts and culture collective supporting trans-disciplinary communities of artistic practice across conventional and unconventional domains.
Hosting monthly performance events that explore extended notions of music, arts, dance and multimedia at Ancient World, Adelaide. This is realised through unique guest curation each month, where we support curators materially and financially to devise and deliver individual and/or group performances.

Broader vision

MUD is an evolving collective that exists to aid cultural and ecological systems through experimental, regenerative and empowering projects. We acknowledge the processes and products of our work as an emergent feature of our socio-ecological reality and continually collaborate with individuals and communities of artistic and ecological practice.

MUD seeks to privilege the soft earth, the fragile stuff, messy and interwoven stuff and to delight in them.
Through our care, be admitted to delightful trouble.

“We need languages of both science and poetry to save us from merely stockpiling endless information...”
- Ursula K. Le Guin

MUD 10

16/12/2021
This month our guest curator in Lily Potger.

Lily is an exciting energy is the local contemporary dance community, as such she will bring the focus of MUD this month onto dance and the body.

Lily's debut in the MUD space was a few months ago with a particularly special performance alongside the August guest curator, Mason Kelly.
We're so excited to invite her in this time as guest curator herself.

Lily has invited Stuart Patterson to accompany her musically. Stu is a lively, sensitive musician and a total sweetheart too. He made his first MUD appearance alongside Gabriella Smart in October.
