  • Third Rex Cramphorn Memorial Lecture Belvoir Street Theatre, Sydney, 23 November 1997
    Third Rex Cramphorn Memorial Lecture Belvoir Street Theatre, Sydney, 23 November 1997 A Passion for Ideas: Black Stage by Rhoda Roberts Jungi Kala Widther, Good Afternoon and welcome and thank you so much for being here on this perfect Bondi Beach day. I would just like to acknowledge the Eora Nation whose land I am standing on and I'd also like to thank the Rex Cramphorn Committee whose members are Neil Armfield, Eamon D'Arcy, Tim Fitzpatrick, Gay McAuley, Derek Nicholson, Jill Smith, Kerry Walker and also a hugely big thanks to the Centre for Performance Studies and in particular Laura Ginters who tried to contact me no end in the last few months. I never actually worked with or knew Rex Cramphorn but I've certainly heard of his work and for me it is a great honour to be standing here to deliver this third memorial lecture. Last year John Romeril entitled his memorial lecture 'Ringing Heaven' and wrote: I utterly condemn the opportunistic and Machiavellian behaviour of the Liberal Party, and not just in these past seven hellish weeks, but for decades. ... God, history repeats itself. As was mentioned, the first lecture was given by Jim Sharman and entitled 'In the Realm of the Imagination'. He goes on to say: Theatre is a tiny realm of the imagination that nonetheless maintains the power to influence our thoughts, our feelings and our actions in the greater realm of human society. When I first began as Artistic Director of the Festival of the Dreaming I was really hoping with all my evangelical upbringing there could be some way I could at least contact heaven and get a few tips from my dad, the late Pastor Frank Roberts, Oodgeroo Noonuccal or perhaps Kevin Gilbert.

  • In Praise of Nepotism Final 0.Pdf
    PHILIP PARSONS MEMORIAL LECTURE 27 November 2011 In Praise of Nepotism, ‘the unfair preferment of nephews’ or To Every Age its Art, to Art its Freedom Thank you, everyone. I’m grateful to Belvoir for giving me this opportunity because it is a significant moment in my life when I need to take time for reflection, and try t0 articulate why literature, art and theatre have been so important to me—where it came from and why pushing for change has been central to my understanding and enjoyment. In the New Year I turn 80. My father was born in 1888. In his lifetime he saw the arrival of domestic electricity, the telephone, the motor car, the aeroplane, the skyscraper, film, radio and in his last years television. Together my parents survived a world depression and two world wars; saw the splitting of the atom and the explosion of nuclear warfare. It was thought at the time of his death in 1959 he had lived through the fastest period of change in the history of the world. Nevertheless it was a secure life, lived under the protection of the British Empire; in consequence my father, a civil engineer, who carved a career through the jungles of Malaya, was a great believer in progress. My mother, on the other hand, lived on into the 80s to see the invasion of rock n roll, and the contraceptive pill, the end of the White Australia Policy, the Vietnam War, and the decline of the British Empire. She became, in consequence, against progress. In my lifetime these things became commonplace, and progress was defined as nuclear energy, space exploration, the fall of the Berlin Wall, electronics, the human genome, DNA and computer programming.

    Jaffas in the suburbs – the cinemas of Sydney’s eastern fringe John Walter Ross “The showing of cinematograph pictures has now developed into a permanent business of extensive proportions, and temporary structures which were erected in the suburban areas during the speculative period of the business and which are of a more or less make-shift character have served their purpose. The time has arrived when these temporary structures in the interests of the public should be replaced with permanent up-to-date buildings…for the safety, health and comfort of the public”.
