Join The Ropes artist Amrita Hepi and Professor Larissa Behrendt as they discuss Hepi’s newly commissioned video installation The Pace.

This 3-channel video work utilises sampling to propose skipping as a new choreographic modality and draws powerful connections between the skilful command of the body and rope with other social and cultural practices, particularly the Indigenous art of weaving.
