  • The Aspirations of Daise Morrow Teachers' Notes
    Brink Productions in association with Adelaide Festival Centre present The Aspirations of Daise Morrow By Chris Drummond, adapted by Brink Productions from Patrick White’s short story ‘Down At The Dump’, featuring Zephyr Quartet Teachers’ Notes Compiled by Robyn Callan WORLD PREMIERE Space Theatre, Adelaide 10th October 2015 1 | P a g e THE ASPIRATIONS OF DAISE MORROW CURRICULUM LINKS: AC: The Arts, English SACE: Community Studies, Creative Arts, Drama, English, Music, Integrated Studies & Research Project IB: The Arts, (Theatre, Music, Visual Art), Language and Literature INTRODUCTION Prepare your students for this inspired theatrical story when you attend Brink Productions in association with Adelaide Festival Centre presenting, The Aspirations of Daise Morrow adapted from Patrick White’s short story Down at the Dump, under the direction of Chris Drummond featuring the Zephyr Quartet. The Aspirations of Daise Morrow was devised by a group of artists who embraced Patrick White’s incredible text ‘holus bolus’ creating a theatrical response. This allowed the original text to remain in its original brilliant form rather than whittling away at an adaptation. The goal of the new work is to lift this story from the page into a theatrically immersive production that allows the unlived lives hidden within all characters to become, momentarily, flesh and blood. It is hoped that the knowledge and understanding gained from the page to stage development of the work will be shared by teachers with students. By understanding this process students will be encouraged to discuss, think, and respond to the themes presented and broaden their perspectives of the hidden lives of all of the characters portrayed.

  • Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS of a GATEKEEPER
    Address To The Inaugural Currency House/ Australia Business Arts Foundation 2009 Arts And Public Life Breakfast 31 March At The Sofi tel, Melbourne On Collins Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS OF A GATEKEEPER Hello and welcome everyone. I quickly want to thank Harold for introducing me today. Harold barely knew me when, in November 2001, he fl ew from Melbourne to Sydney to attend my fi rst ever festival launch in Customs House down at Sydney’s Circular Quay. His reason was simple - he loves the arts, I was a fairly new kid on the festival block, and he wanted to show his support. And that support has continues to this day, unabated. I appreciate it tremendously, and it’s a privilege to fi nally share a stage with him, in what is now, mutually, our hometown. So thank you Harold. These confessions of an arts gatekeeper which I’m going to share this morning are personal, frequently intuitive, born of 25 years of observation and experience in the arts, but also not absolutes – all are debatable, but not one, I think, is disprovable. An arts gatekeeper is really a kind of artistic ‘door bitch’, someone charged with the responsibility of deciding when the ‘velvet rope’ is lifted, and which art will, and will not, be seen by the public of Australia. And while the metaphor of the ‘velvet rope’ makes light of it here, the role is actually riven with anxiety and stress – so important do I think the responsibility is, and so potentially charged with hubris. Gatekeepers come in many guises – festival directors, artistic directors of theatre and dance companies, museum and gallery curators, music directors of opera houses and orchestras, arts centre programmers, book publishers and record producers.

  • ASTROMAN by ALBERT BELZ Welcome
    ASTROMAN BY ALBERT BELZ Welcome Over the course of this year our productions have taken you to London, New York, Norway, Malaysia and rural Western Australia. In Astroman we take you much closer to home – to suburban Geelong where it’s 1984. ASTROMAN In this touching and humorous love letter to the 80s, playwright Albert Belz wraps us in the highs and lows of growing up, the exhilaration of learning, and what it means to be truly courageous. BY ALBERT BELZ Directed by Sarah Goodes and Associate Director Tony Briggs, and performed by a cast of wonderful actors, some of them new to MTC, Astroman hits the bullseye of multigenerational appeal. If ever there was a show to introduce family and friends to theatre, and the joy of local stories on stage – this is it. At MTC we present the very best new works like Astroman alongside classics and international hits, from home and abroad, every year. As our audiences continue to grow – this year we reached a record number of subscribers – tickets are in high demand and many of our performances sell out. Subscriptions for our 2019 Season are now on sale and offer the best way to secure your seats and ensure you never miss out on that must-see show. To see what’s on stage next year and book your package visit mtc.com.au/2019. Thanks for joining us at the theatre. Enjoy Astroman. Brett Sheehy ao Virginia Lovett Artistic Director & CEO Executive Director & Co-CEO Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Yalukit Willam Peoples of the Boon Wurrung, the First Peoples of Country on which Southbank Theatre and MTC HQ stand, and we pay our respects to all of Melbourne’s First Peoples, to their ancestors and Elders, and to our shared future.
