I was shocked that, with one in seven Australians having convict ancestry, I had - Emily Goddard never been taught about what these women had been through. In the face of this treatment, the women used humour to rebel, to expose the hypocrisy of their captors and to endure a system designed to break them. They rioted and created performances that mocked the authorities. These performances are strikingly similar in spirit to the centuries-old clowning method of Bouffon, where outcasts ridicule their oppressors, which has inspired the creation of This is Eden. The events of this show are based on the records of the women’s provocative resistance and the characters within their world.

  • Jesus, Queen of Heaven by Jo Clifford
    Theatre works And BEN ANDERSON present THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS, QUEEN OF HEAVEN BY JO CLIFFORD 30 APR - 8 may THEATRE WORKS 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WRITER’S NOTE | JO CLIFFORD When I first wrote and performed Queen Jesus in Glasgow, back in 2009, I was afraid people JESUS, QUEEN might find her dull. I was wrong about that. OF HEAVEN I was very frightened and distressed by all the hatred she inspired back then. Hatred that came in from all over the world. 30 APR - 8 mAY But the hate taught me her words mattered and I should work to keep her alive. THEATRE WORKS So I did. And I discovered that performing her was a powerful act of resistance against the 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA shame and fear that had possessed me since the time I was a child and knew that I wasn’t a boy. A shame that touches everybody. Because none of us quite measure up to the gender we’re supposed to be. And since then she’s helped many others resist in so many places in the world. All over the UK, all over Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Cabo Verde, Belfast, Brussels and Berlin. And here she is incarnate in the magnificent Kristen Smyth and opening in Melbourne. That is so wonderful. And opening to the same hatred, expressed in the same words, as in Glasgow. Because hatred cannot change. But love… love is creative. Love changes everything… DIRECTOR’S NOTE | KITAN PETKOVSKI I can still recall the emotional mess that I was upon reading Jo Clifford’s The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven.

  • Protecting the Children: Early Years of the King's Orphan Schools in Van Diemen's Land
    Coolabah, No.10, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Protecting the Children: Early Years of the King’s Orphan Schools in Van Diemen’s Land Lucy Frost Copyright©2013 Lucy Frost. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: In the second decade of the 21st century, the Australian government has encountered a barrage of criticism from people outraged by its treatment of refugees. The Immigration Minister, accused of failing in his obligation to act as guardian of asylum-seeking children, has talked ‘tough’. Nearly two hundred years earlier, when Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur confronted the problems of administering Australia’s second colony, Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania), his approach was radically different. This paper considers how the colony under Arthur struggled with the government’s responsibility to protect vulnerable children in its midst. Keywords: Orphan Schools; Female Convicts; Colonial Australia Source: W L Crowther Library, Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office 88 Coolabah, No.10, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona One of Australia’s oldest institutions for children still stands in a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania. Buildings commonly known as the Queen’s Orphan Schools are usually remembered—if they are remembered at all—as housing the children of convicts. There is about the Queen’s Orphan Schools an aura of ‘the convict stain’. But in earlier days before Victoria ascended her throne in 1837, the children in the King’s Orphan Schools came from very diverse backgrounds, and the institutions played a far more complex role in the frontier community because the emphasis was on protection rather than confinement.
