Echo Mapping
NORPA's The Joinery
Experience Echo Mapping inside The Joinery, Northern Rivers Performing Arts new creative home, and see the space in a whole new light. The industrial atmosphere becomes the backdrop for a thrilling, joyful duet of sound and movement, created and performed by longtime collaborators Jack Prest and Azzam Mohamed.
Stripped back to its rawest elements — no sets, no spectacle — this is dance in its purest form, just body, voice, and live music in constant conversation.
Jack Prest's live score moves from subtle textures to thundering beats to ethereal trumpet, while Azzam Mohamed performs both voice and body. His movement shifts from commanding stillness to fluid yet intense choreography, singing Sudanese melodies recorded, looped and manipulated by Jack into a mesmerising sonic atmosphere.
Performed in the round, Echo Mapping places you at the centre of the experience. Every breath, every beat, every movement is magnified — drawing you into a shared, visceral journey that is both deeply personal and powerfully collective.
Expect to leave transformed, exhilarated, and completely immersed.
Northern Rivers Performing Arts presents Echo Mapping. Co-created by Azzam Mohamed and Jack Prest. Produced by Intimate Spectacle.
