Kit explores alchemies of transformation through the cultural currencies of beauty, fashion and the viral trends of her social zeitgeist. Equipped with Chinese philosophical mysticism and a queer lens, Kit’s work indulges in the comedic contradictions and curious compatibilities she identifies between pop culture and traditional lore and practices. Specifically, Kit examines shifting collective and personal desire as expressed in what we consume and seek out, and the evolving language of these desires in the advent of growing digital intimacy and new forms of commercial ambiguity. Their work augments familiar spaces such as retail stores, clinics, and clubs and moves between online platforms and IRL experiences to capture complex dimensions of desire such as joy and futility, trash and luxury, avarice and impermanence. Kit has presented solo and collaborative projects with Firstdraft, Performance Space, Verge Gallery, Cement Fondu, Dark Mofo, Pari, Tiles, Our Neon Foe, Blacktown Arts Centre, Durden and Ray (LA), Articulate Project Space, Parramatta Lanes Festival with support from Parramatta Artists Studios, Sircuit, The Bearded Tit, and the Eora Ballroom scene, as well as ephemeral installations for club events with local collectives Worship, MSG4000, and Synergy. In 2026, Kit will present a work in collaboration with performance artist Red Rey for the Biennale of Sydney, and is the costume and set designer for an upcoming production by Dance Makers Collective. https://kitwubylett.com/Contact Tue, 03 Nov 2020 06:00:09 +0000 kitwubylett https://kitwubylett.com/Contact E &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; kitbylett@gmail.com IG &nbsp;&nbsp; @kitchn___sync https://kitwubylett.com/Instagram Tue, 03 Nov 2020 08:06:20 +0000 kitwubylett https://kitwubylett.com/Instagram https://kitwubylett.com/Project-Nav Sun, 01 Nov 2020 11:34:11 +0000 kitwubylett https://kitwubylett.com/Project-Nav Index &nbsp; &nbsp; Next ︎ https://kitwubylett.com/Doomscroll Tue, 20 May 2025 12:26:50 +0000 kitwubylett https://kitwubylett.com/Doomscroll Doomscroll For Your Life&nbsp;(2025) Produced by Performance Space’s Queer Development Program.

Each of the five performers in The Path are adorned in striking armor, created during intimate interviews that informed each of the individual costume designs. These costumes, rendered in vivid hues of Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, and Black, weave personal and poetic stories of migration into their very fabric. Through collaborative workshops, the performers have crafted unique movements that echo their individual journeys. The Path comes together in a powerful moment where the five characters’ separate paths converge, symbolising a shared transformation. As they traverse the open field, they enact a compelling search for belonging and connection. This search resolves in a celebratory dance—a tribute to the bonds and communities that migrants forge to support one another in the face of adversity.
