My old mentor used to tell me “in times of uncertainty – look to where certainty exists and start there!” It’s proved sage advice over the years. So let me offer up a thing I’m certain of - EVERYONE GETS SOMETHING OUT OF SHOWCASE. Also here’s another thing I’m certain of - IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK YOU’LL GET. It’s duality of certainty! Ensuring you receive positive things is largely about Jenny Ryssenbeek, Executive Director, VAPAC the manner in which you navigate the Showcase process.

  • Brothers Wreck by Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien
    Media Release April 2014 Belvoir presents Brothers Wreck By Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien With Cramer Cain Lisa Flanagan Rarriwuy Hick Hunter Page-Lochard Bjorn Stewart Belvoir St Theatre | Upstairs 24 May – 22 June 2014 ‘it shouldn’t be this hard... but look around ay? You're not the only one who's lost a brother this way.’ Brothers Wreck begins with a death: on a hot morning under a house in Darwin, Ruben wakes to find his cousin Joe hanging from the rafters. The play that follows tells the story of how Ruben’s family, little by little, brings Ruben back from the edge. It is a confronting and honest exploration of grief and loss but ultimately redemption. Jada Alberts, winner of the 2013 Balnaves Foundation Indigenous Playwright’s Award, is an actor and theatre-maker with a powerful voice and a clear vision to tell the stories of her community. She is one of a growing group of young Indigenous artists who have looked to each other as much as they have to their elders for inspiration. Her play emerges from the gathering voices of this new generation and tells a deeply relevant and current story of the reality of life for many Indigenous families. An outstanding cast of Indigenous artists has been assembled. Rarriwuy Hick is gaining attention for her television performances in Redfern Now and The Gods of Wheat Street (ABC1). She is also a compelling stage actor, as well as a dancer and choreographer with Bangarra Dance Theatre.

And where do we come from? Australia’s greatest Olympian Ian Thorpe, iconic Indigenous actor Ernie Dingo, and TV presenter and Queen of Eurovision Julia Zemiro set off on an epic journey of genetic time travel to find out. DNA is the instruction manual that helps build and run our bodies. But scientific breakthroughs have discovered another remarkable use for it. DNA contains a series of genetic route maps. It means we can trace our mother’s mother’s mother and our father’s father’s father, and so on, back through tens of millennia, revealing how our ancestors migrated out of Africa and went on to populate the rest of the world.
