Melanie Jame Wolf
Savage Amusement is the name which expands across the work of interdisciplinary artist, Melanie Jame Wolf. Sometimes solo, sometimes with friends.This practice operates with greater and greater fluidity at points where the live performing body and the screen intersect and interplay; shaping through the ways in which these modes limit and extend one another in turn. Making work both solo and with friends, Melanie Jame focuses on the ways in which love, gender, and ghosts of many kinds – cultural, literal, and personal – come to be performed through various improvised and enculturated affective, aesthetic, and critical economies. The lineage of music video, and the play, fabulation and proliferation of queer personae are current strong formal influences on what she makes and does, and how she lives……all for your Savage Amusement.
She is also a member of Triage.
Since 2008 with Triage she has co-created and presented numerous works including: An Appointment with J Dark (Arts House, Melbourne, 2012 – Nominated for a 2012 Green Room Award in the category of Outstanding Production: Creative Audience Agency), Strange Passions (Exchange Radical Moments!
