  • 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.

  • Adelaide Festival Centre
    Heritage of the City of Adelaide ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE King William Road The first Adelaide Festival of Arts was held in 1960 as a brave - and successful - attempt to promote Adelaide's role as a centre for arts within Australia. The festival became a biennial event, the focus of which is now the Festival Centre itself built above Elder Park and the banks of the River Torrens. This site has long been associated with entertainment since the creation of the Torrens Lake and Elder Park with its rotunda in 1881. The Festival Centre complex covers the site of the City Baths, Cheer-up Hut and Advertiser Sound Shell as well as the Government Printery, and Lands Department stables. #B E AC 11# D :\P H O TO _ CThe D construction \IM AG of Ethe S \IM G 0037.P C D 632631322 835 866419572 867734186 P B 4 0 12 6 377 249 0 Festival Centre represented a milestone in South Australian history as a dramatic expression of the South Australian part in Australian cultural development and of local political commitment to that development. It was built by the state government as the centre for performing arts in South Australia and was officially opened on 2 (CD Ref 2835/37) June 1973. The architects were Hassell and Partners and the builders A.V. Jennings Industries (Australia) Limited. The Festival Centre is an unashamedly modern complex notable for its bold structuralistic approach to form. The multi-purpose Festival Theatre, the more intimate drama theatre (Playhouse), the experimental theatre (Space) and the Amphitheatre are integrated successfully by roof form and the formality of the dominant octagonal module.
