real-time. The images are taken from the documentation of earlier events and are
also mixed in "live".

Projection (local): image capture images. 
Projection (2): documentation images (ours and our partners - prepared in advance) 
Interaction: to be arranged 
Dance: to be arranged 
Audio: controlled at a distance by our partners ?

Fetish Film
	(exploring the links between sexuality and creativity)
	

Big Willie Style! LiMBO talks style and shopping with Kylie style guru and close friend
 William Baker with questions submitted by visitors to LiMBO.

>> From Chris: "I heard a rumour that the showgirl costume (Lucky, DQ & DG) was very 
inexpensive to make. Apparently the rumour goes that you went to a Habadashery store and 
bought all the materials for $30. I know that she is tiny, but that is a bit much! Of 
course it is worth more once blood, sweat & tears. That is of course not counting the 
headpiece which was bought from a well known Fetish Shop in Fitzroy, near the rehearsals. 

>> (Chris) No truth whatsoever. The showgirl feather headpiece was made by a milliner in 
Melbourne called Philip Rhodes, and the materials for the corset were bought from a 
haberdashery store but for more than $30. Love, that wonÕt buy a zip these days. It took 
soooooo long to make that thing.There were about 4 different people who pitched in . It 
probably took 2 weeks solid to make. I never want to see another sequin as long as I live.
