The Estuary is a performance curated and performed by students from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and the Victorian College of the Arts in response to the veil.

It offers an immersive experience exploring cycles of transformation and return. The Estuary is a space where the boundaries between performer and exhibition dissolve, and audiences are invited to listen, move and breathe within a shared moment of renewal. 

Performance Curation: The Buxton Project is a subject run in collaboration between Buxton Contemporary, the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and the Victorian College of the Arts. Students are immersed in the process of creative curation as they develop a public performance inspired by the gallery’s exhibitions and the Buxton Collection. This hands-on learning experience fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, broadens students’ creative practice and provides a comprehensive understanding of a performance event.
