  • 04 Part Two Chapter 4-5 Everett
    PART TWO. "So what are you doing now?" "Well the school of course." "You mean youre still there?" "Well of course. I will always be there as long as there are students." (Jacques Lecoq, in a letter to alumni, 1998). 79 CHAPTER FOUR INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO. The preceding chapters have been principally concerned with detailing the research matrix which has served as a means of mapping the influence of the Lecoq school on Australian theatre. I have attempted to situate the research process in a particular theoretical context, adopting Alun Munslow's concept of `deconstructionise history as a model. The terms `diaspora' and 'leavening' have been deployed as metaphorical frameworks for engaging with the operations of the word 'influence' as it relates specifically to the present study. An interpretive framework has been constructed using four key elements or features of the Lecoq pedagogy which have functioned as reference points in terms of data collection, analysis and interpretation. These are: creation of original performance material; use of improvisation; a movement-based approach to performance; use of a repertoire of performance styles. These elements or `mapping co-ordinates' have been used as focal points during the interviewing process and have served as reference points for analysis of the interview material and organisation of the narrative presentation. The remainder of the thesis constitutes the narrative interpretation of the primary and secondary source material. This chapter aims to provide a general overview of, and introduction to the research findings. I will firstly outline a demographic profile of Lecoq alumni in Australia. Secondly I will situate the work of alumni, and the influence of their work on Australian theatre within a broader socio-cultural, historical context.

  • Strange Interlude
    Media Release April 2012 Belvoir presents Strange Interlude Written by SIMON STONE after EUGENE O’NEILL Director SIMON STONE Set Designer ROBERT COUSINS Costume Designer MEL PAGE Lighting Designer DAMIEN COOPER Composer & Sound Designer STEFAN GREGORY With AKOS ARMONT NICHOLAS BAKOPOULIS-COOKE EMILY BARCLAY MITCHELL BUTEL CALLUM McMANIS KRIS McQUADE ELOISE MIGNON ANTHONY PHELAN TOBY SCHMITZ TOBY TRUSLOVE BELVOIR ST THEATRE | UPSTAIRS 5 MAY – 17 JUNE An experimental play from the 1920s may not be the most obvious choice for inclusion in Belvoir’s strikingly contemporary season, but in the hands of Simon Stone theatre-goers will know to expect a radical interpretation of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. In the vein of Stone’s The Wild Duck, a sell-out at both Belvoir and Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, Strange Interlude will be completely rewritten. Strange Interlude is one of the few modern plays to use soliloquy interwoven with the dialogue, revealing the characters’ inner thoughts; this technique will be maintained in the rewrite. Twenty-year-old Nina Leeds (Emily Barclay) has lost the love of her life in the war. Overcome with grief, she quits university, falls out with her father and moves away from home. What follows is an epic and compelling narrative that spans 25 years in Nina’s life, but the story is compressed into a series of heightened, life altering moments. The significance of each of these moments is revealed as the page-turning story unravels. The cast assembled for this production is truly stellar, with the luminous Emily Barclay as Nina and Mitchell Butel, Toby Schmitz and Toby Truslove as three men in her life, each vying for her attention and affection in his own way.

  • Delavale and Gilbert
    DELAVALE AND GILBERT Ern Delavale and Will Gilbert (1908-1916) Regarded as one of the more popular Australian comedy duos touring Australia and New Zealand during the pre-war years, Ern Delavale and Will Gilbert worked an act that comprised patter, sketch material and songs. The themes explored by the pair included marriage, outback life, and the navy. During their time together the two comedians worked for most of the leading variety managements, including James Brennan, Ted Holland, Harry Clay and Fullers' Theatres. They toured Queensland twice for Clay (1912 and 1916) and played for several months in India in early 1914. The partnership was interrupted for around six months that same year while Gilbert recovered from a severe illness and eventually dissolved in late-1916. Both men later worked long-term acts with their wives. Will Gilbert, renowned for his ultra thin and very lanky appearance, and thus often billed the "Loose Legged Comedian," and "the Human Hairpin," joined forces with Ern Delavale,1 the "robust one," in either late-1907 or early 1908. Their first recorded appearance as Delavale and Gilbert appears to have been at James Brennan's Gaiety Theatre (Melbourne) in January 1908. One of the earliest reviews of their act, published in the Newsletter in early February, suggests that the combination still required some fine-tuning: "The patter of Ern Delavale and Will Gilbert is an infliction too grievous to be borne in silence, but their singing might stand as a slight mitigation of the offence."2 By the end of their debut season with Brennan the pair was accorded more favourable critical responses, with a Table Talk critic writing, for example, "Delavale and Gilbert are to the fore with fresh and breezy sketches."3 They followed the Brennan engagement with work with Harry Sadler (Newcastle) and Harry Rickards (Western Australia).
