Proximity Festival 2017 is twelve days of micro-performances, intimate walking tours, caffeine-fuelled discussions and workshops in the heart of Perth’s newest inner city precinct Cathedral Square.


Cathedral Square Precinct
26 September – 7 October 2017

Curated by Sarah Rowbottam and Kelli McCluskey

Artists Cigdem Aydemir (NSW), Hannah Brontë (QLD), Mike Bianco (USA/WA), Liam Colgan (WA),Martyn Coutts (VIC),Rachael Dease (WA),  Jen Jamieson (WA), Nat Randall (NSW), Tyrone Robinson (WA)

For the first time Proximity will take place across multiple locations during the day, with intimate one-on-one experiences embedded into the daily happenings of the Town Hall, Cathedral, The State Buildings, cafes and outdoor surrounds.

Search for Warhol’s tragic muse, celebrate black matriarchy through power-laden rap, find love in high places, listen closely to the history embedded in the plants and take a backseat ride through the Australian landscape.

Proximity’s performance program is a curated series of 20-minute intimate performances for one audience member at a time.

We’ve built this festival from the ground up with one important person in mind – you.
