Matt Cornell is an Australasian based artist who grew up in Darwin, on Larrakia land.

He works through dancing, sound, photography, events, maps and discussion.

Matt believes in the power of non-spoken experience and the far reaching effects of love.

Matt has operated sound for Angela’s Goh‘s Desert Body Creep which recently toured to New York, composed for live performance including Instar by Katina Olsen, Lake by Lisa Wilson, which toured nationally, and co-composed with Tristen Parr for Look The Other Way by Cadi McCarthy and Laura Boynes which was awarded an Australian Dance Award.
