Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a collaboration between artist Jorlene Lim and the Rawcus Ensemble that explores the human impulse to create, and how every individual finds creative inspiration in their own way: One person is awe struck by nature, another technology, another an old photograph found in a op shop.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious brings these disparate sources of innovation together into one collaborative exhibition. Using unconventional painting methods including squeegees, sponges, and bodies, Jorlene weaves offerings from the Rawcus ensemble together into a wonderland of imagination for patrons to wander through.
Flow Festival Australia and Rawcus Theatre are supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body, and Yarra City Arts.

About Jorlene
Jorlene Lim is a Filipino-born deaf artist and graphic designer based in Melbourne. She graduated from RMIT University in 2024 with a Bachelor of Communication Design. Her creative practice spans performance, visual art, and design, often embracing playful and unconventional methods of expression.
She joined the Rawcus ensemble in 2023 and made her performance debut with the company in Interior (2024), where she discovered a deep connection with ensemble-based, collaborative performance. She has been part of an ensemble collaborating with Fast Fashun, where the group designed and remade garments using recycled clothing as part of a sustainable fashion initiative. She was also involved in the En Masse Project as an ensemble member, performing in a large-scale dance work that was filmed and projected onto a building, blending movement with visual installation.
About Rawcus
Rawcus is an award-winning and critically acclaimed long-term ensemble of artists with diverse minds, bodies, and imaginations. Rawcus devises new performance work that expresses the imaginative world of the Ensemble. Drawing on dance, theatre and visual art disciplines, the work is crafted with a precision that supports the performers, but allows space for their inherent sense of anarchy. Rawcus’ performance aesthetic is characterised by a marriage of intense physicality, arresting visual imagery and devised text.
