Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos operates on. We create, design, share, and exchange our work and knowledge on this important meeting place. We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to any First Nations people who engage with Kudos. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.

Jaded, overworked, worn down. With the acceleration of society, narratives have collapsed. Existence is a foggy mash; brain-rot is a culture. Yet inside there’s jade: a stone symbolic of endurance and virtue. As late capitalism subjects you to the split-screen hypnosis of Subway Surfer videos, what can this ancient stone teach about persistence? 

Kudos Live JADE/D is the 2025 edition of our annual performance art showcase, this year featuring Harrison Rae, Josie Kearney, Sydney Jarrett & Seren Wagstaff, Theo Lathouras, Wen Pei Low / 刘雯佩 and Will Naufahu. Working across movement, endurance, theatre, live making and sound, each artist presents a unique orientation toward the jade/d.

Some turn to endurance as a tactic to combat fatigue; others use the stage to create fleeting moments of captivation in a culture of numbness; still others use performance as a tool to speak to the jade/dness produced by capital, colonialism, nation-states, and media culture.
