The Hunt are an award winning, multidisciplinary group of artists who use sound, performance and imagery to create performance vignettes centered around a female protagonist that draw on horror tropes in film, fashion and literature. The Hunt use everyday, mundane materials to reveal the everpresent potential for horror in our domestic and daily lives.
The core artists in the group are: Christopher Gray (Music Director), Bridget Mackey (Performance Director) and Grace Purton-Long (Art Director) they create work based on their individual experiences in the music, theatre and design worlds. Since forming in 2016, The Hunt have presented work at private parties, music venues, site specific locations, and in galleries around Melbourne. The Hunt’s performance ‘Woman in Car’ won the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2017 Liveworks Experimental Art Award, supported by Performance Space.
