-  * Sarah Neville and family are in residence at foam for 3 weeks in October 2013, firstly at Castello Parenzana near the legendary town of Motovun in Istria and amidst the urban landscape of Brussels. In company with her five month old daughter Florence and together with Maja Kuzmanovic and Nik Gaffney, Sarah is investigating ancient and contemporary myths formed from making meaning of natural disaster. Sarah’s husband Matthew and four year old daughter Miranda are contributing to the project remotely from home in the Adelaide Hills in Australia. Miranda is sharing her understanding of the natural world through creative storytelling and painting and Matthew is participating by responding to the concepts emerging at Castello Parenzana through an exploration of sound.

-  * This project has been on slow boil for Sarah for several years. She has struggled to contextualise her research within the contemporary dance or theatre worlds and feels that the project has been finally seeded in suitably fertile ground within the cultural laboratory of foam.She has been aware of foam since its inception as she enjoyed a couple of successful collaborations with Nik Gaffney in Adelaide in the late 90's and he has kept her informed. However its only now, 13 years later that Sarah has a project that she feels fits with the vision of foam and at the same time it feels like high time she worked with Nik once more. Sarah's husband Matt also collaborated with Nik and Matt in the past and was looking forward to the family in residence along with four year old Miranda. When local funding fell through for Sarah, the family had to ecomimise and decided that Sarah and Florence would travel to Europe and Matt and Miranda would contribute to the project remotely via daily skype meetings and email.
-  * The area of research stretches over the fields of history, psychology and anthropology. Artistic forms put into play include photography, story telling, poetics and theatrical improvised movement.
+This project has been on slow boil for me for several years. I have struggled to contextualise my research within the contemporary dance or theatre worlds but do feel that this project has been finally seeded in suitably fertile ground within the cultural laboratory of foam. I enjoyed a couple of successful collaborations with Nik Gaffney in Adelaide in the late 90's and with this project it seemed like the right time to pick up the collaborative thread. My husband Matt also collaborated with Nik in the past and was looking forward to participating in the residency in Croatia along with four year old Miranda. However, when state funding fell through, the family had to ecomimise and decided that Florence and I would travel to Europe and Matt and Miranda would contribute to the project remotely via daily skype meetings and email.
+Whilst in Croatia, the foam residency was structured to include my whole family so my husband Matt contributed a sound score and our daughter Miranda sent drawings and stories in response to the creative content generated. Foam founders and collaborators Nik Gaffney and Maja Kumonovic, not only contributed creative ideas but picked up the ‘hard to do with a baby in your arms’ tasks like note taking and documenting. I am not sure what I would have done without any of them.
