Yeti in E Minor was inspired by the room in which it was created. The room was situated at The Cherring Herring (an independent Brisbane dance space run by artists in 1996/97). The room was initially white with four walls. In preparation for this work, the interior walls were removed, leaving only the steel bracing. The floor, ceiling and two remainder stone walls were painted black. The room took on the appearance of a cage and inspired the next reinvention of the Yeti character, trapped, caught and confined to a cage.

Alternately haunting and playful, the performance leads us on a journey of moods which traces the physical story of shared space. In the absence of text, the unspoken/unspeakable is heightened..

This exploration originated in the performance of the collaborative short work 'The Soup Waltz' by O'Neill and Christina Koch in 1995 at The Crab Room Performance Space, Brisbane.

Teardrop Explodes was performed inside the foyer of Waterfront Place in the Brisbane CBD during office hours. The work was inspired by the glass and mirrored exterior walls of the building.

Fugu San creates a powerful territory where time and space is tangible. Fugu San is not alone but in partnership with her environment, compressing the space between performer and spectator.

With intense body focus, energy and gaze, she creates atmospheric cameos that serve to manipulate time and space with intriguing nuances.

Drawing the audience deep into her internal world, with her secret narrative hidden under unwavering composure, she embarks on a mysterious journey enticing the audience into a transcendent space that makes us aware of each unfolding moment and physical transformation.
