  • Hannah Gadsby Comedian / Writer / Art Lady
    Hannah Gadsby Comedian / Writer / Art Lady Tasmania’s own Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi award winning show, Nanette, which played to sold out houses in Australia, the UK and New York. Its launch on Netflix, and subsequent Emmy win, took Nanette (and Hannah) to the world. Hannah’s difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas after her dog. Hannah walked Douglas around the world, selling out the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Opera House in Sydney and the Kennedy Center in DC, a sit down run in New York and shows across the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Douglas was a smash hit, moving beyond the trauma at the centre of Nanette and instead letting the world see the view from Hannah’s brain – one that sees the world differently but with breathtaking clarity. The show covered Hannah’s autism diagnosis, cleared up some confusion regarding a penguin, lectured some great masters, and saw the patriarchy needled with various levels of vigour. Douglas is available throughout the world on Netflix, recorded in Los Angeles. Hannah has done plenty of other things over the course of more than a decade in comedy, but that will do for now. What they have said about Nanette; “As uproariously funny as it is profoundly furious.” The New Yorker “The laughs of her show are a means to an end, which is, at its core, a ferocious attack on comedy itself.” The New York Times “Nanette is the kind of work that leaves you shaken.

Armed with a rapier wit and desire to pick beneath the paint, she travels across the continent on a stand-up comedian mission to debunk the myths of the Australian Identity as defined by our art canon. If our great works are to be believed, the average Aussie is a bloke in a hat who is Hannah Gadsby hell bent on conquering our gum-tree infested landscape singlehandedly. Why has this mono-vision of Australia is on a mission to persisted for so long? debunk the myths Surely there is more to us than our most famous artworks suggest? From first settlement to Federation to post-mul- ticulturalism, Hannah will forge an irreverent new image of of the Australian who we think we are through a re-examination of Australian art history. By digging a bit deeper and uncovering often- identity perpetuated ignored histories and artists, Hannah will take on these painted white/male clichés to show us a more colourful and by our national art. feminine vision of Australia. Knocking on the studio doors of some of this country’s most interesting contemporary artists, Hannah will engage with a new generation who are determined to break open the ideas of what it means to be Australian. Many of these artists’ works speak directly to our historical canon, chal- lenging its point of view and re-interpreting it to ignite the SCREEN EDUCATION © ATOM 2014 © ATOM SCREEN EDUCATION issues still haunting our political and cultural landscapes.

Making comedy and making people laugh is the ultimate education. In the process of thinking about and creating a comic routine/show you use critical thinking, you engage with audiences as you try out those ideas. You write, you improvise, you consider intercultural understanding (different cultures can find different things funny…or not), and consider what might offend or be appropriate. You might want to satirise or subvert common understandings, you engage with BIG ideas and consider who you are in this crazy world. You make art and you perform art. But wait, there’s more…when you engage with comedy you actually have to think about your sense of self, your identity, who you are and what you have to say. You ask others to listen to your ideas and stories, you take risks, you build confidence, you dare to fail, dare to be brave, you laugh and you cry with laughter.
