Adhocracy is Vitalstatistix’s annual national hothouse, supporting the creative development and critical discussion of experimental, multidisciplinary arts projects.

In 2022 we finally return to our intensive artist lab and festival-style public program, after two years of pandemic disruptions to our much-loved event. We really look forward to seeing you again!

This year’s program features twelve incredible Australian creative teams whose projects and new works-in-development span choreography and dance, performance and live art, poetry and text, ritual, social practice, theatre, and visual art.

As is always the case at Adhocracy, these artists and their works are speaking powerfully to the times we are in. Wide-ranging themes including climate and capitalism, protest and public participation, de/colonialism, cultural theft, wildness, queerness, precarious work, practices of care, and riffs off many other areas of enquiry.

Adhocracy is a unique offering in the Australian arts calendar – as a creative development opportunity for artists and as an insight into artistic process for lovers of art. It’s a festival of ideas meets intense art camp meets magic house party.

Check out the daily schedule that starts from 3pm each day and get amongst some of Australia’s most exciting established and emerging makers of Australian contemporary culture, art, performance, and commentary.

A note on COVID-19…
We will be working hard to make Adhocracy as COVID-19 safe as possible. COVID-19 protective measures, including mask wearing and attendance limits for small studio spaces, and daily RATs for participating artists, will be part of this year’s Adhocracy experience. Our friendly team of hosts will help you to stay aware of venue and audience requirements during the three days and nights.
