Mystery Call

Mystery Call, an embodied 1-to-1 conversation, connecting community near and far - digitally and in person at the Victorian Pride Centre.

Mystery Call is a 1-to-1 conversation that is digitally delivered and connects us in community near and far. It is influenced by awareness of bodily diversities and disability cultures. It is an experience to be heard and embodied instead of being visually seen.

The MindsEye Collective invites you to discover through acts of listening and movement: an experience of your own body, the history of our bodies and a relationship to the collective queer body.

You can join the Mystery Call virtually wherever you are, or in person with the MindsEye Collective at the Victorian Pride Centre.

At an appointed time, you and your mystery call partner will engage in a supported pre-arranged online call with cameras off. Together you will be guided via conversational prompts to consider and safely share aspects of your present experience and your relationship with the spaces / places you are in. To end your call, you will be offered a dance that has been composed and translated from a previous pair's Mystery Call to read aloud to one another and embody if you wish.

As a pair, you will select fragments of your conversation to share with the MindsEye Collective that will be woven into dance. The dances will be embodied at the Victorian Pride Centre which you are welcome to experience before or after your call.

Information to support your Mystery Call experience will be sent to the email provided when booking a week prior to your scheduled session. If you need to reach out beforehand please email [email protected]

The MindsEye Collective will endeavour to make Mystery Call as accessible as possible for all people wishing to engage in it. Please let us know any specific access requirements you have at checkout when booking. The project has been created with the access needs of people who are Blind or have low vision in mind. We welcome people who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing and people who are non-speaking, non-verbal or who use alternative communication.
