Savanna Wegman

Savanna Wegman is Co-Director of STRANGEkit performance art collective and in her third year with MUST. She has delved into the directing and visual design guilds of theatrical creation and has worked on End Transmission (2018), Monash Shakespeare Company’s R&J (2019) and Do Not Collect $200 (2019). Through her creations, Sav is currently learning more about 3D art/design, alternate realities and cowboys. She is reading books about love, feminist science fiction and talking ferrets, and in lockdown is also practicing her soup making skills (current speciality = minestrone). At uni Sav studies theatre and performance, literature and digital humanities in a Bachelor of Arts and enjoys listing things in threes maybe a bit too much. She’s keen to discuss all things Playtime and Tarantino and expose some rare angry thoughts in this podcast which is very unlike Sav.

Celina Mack

Celina is a Narrm based performance artist and director. Celina has been performing regularly for many years, with experience acting and creating in plays, musical theatre, short films and immersive theatrical events. Celina has completed performance training across multiple institutions including Meisner Melbourne and VCA. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Theatre and Performance at Monash University, also minoring in Film and Television Studies. Since beginning at Monash, Celina has realised her overwhelming passions for experimental performance and video art, collaborative devising and directing! This is where Celina first met Savanna Wegman and they began trialling their techniques for the absurd, co-directing small projects and experimental endurance/installation art pieces. Celina is excited to continue making artistic works which can be described as absurdist, surrealist, structuralist, mundane, affective or even daringly meaningless, with the aim of combining many artistic mediums and questioning any need for their separation.
