  • Brothers Wreck by Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien
    Media Release April 2014 Belvoir presents Brothers Wreck By Jada Alberts Director Leah Purcell Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Lighting Designer Luiz Pampolha Composer & Sound Designer Brendan O’Brien With Cramer Cain Lisa Flanagan Rarriwuy Hick Hunter Page-Lochard Bjorn Stewart Belvoir St Theatre | Upstairs 24 May – 22 June 2014 ‘it shouldn’t be this hard... but look around ay? You're not the only one who's lost a brother this way.’ Brothers Wreck begins with a death: on a hot morning under a house in Darwin, Ruben wakes to find his cousin Joe hanging from the rafters. The play that follows tells the story of how Ruben’s family, little by little, brings Ruben back from the edge. It is a confronting and honest exploration of grief and loss but ultimately redemption. Jada Alberts, winner of the 2013 Balnaves Foundation Indigenous Playwright’s Award, is an actor and theatre-maker with a powerful voice and a clear vision to tell the stories of her community. She is one of a growing group of young Indigenous artists who have looked to each other as much as they have to their elders for inspiration. Her play emerges from the gathering voices of this new generation and tells a deeply relevant and current story of the reality of life for many Indigenous families. An outstanding cast of Indigenous artists has been assembled. Rarriwuy Hick is gaining attention for her television performances in Redfern Now and The Gods of Wheat Street (ABC1). She is also a compelling stage actor, as well as a dancer and choreographer with Bangarra Dance Theatre.

  • 1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania It Is 1968, Rural Western Austra
    1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania Abstract: In two Australian coming-of-age feature films, Australian Rules and September, the central young characters hold idyllic notions about friendship and equality that prove to be the keys to transformative on- screen behaviours. Intimate intersubjectivity, deployed in the close relationships between the indigenous and nonindigenous protagonists, generates multiple questions about the value of normalised adult interculturalism. I suggest that the most pointed significance of these films lies in the compromises that the young adults make. As they reach the inevitable moral crisis that awaits them on the cusp of adulthood, despite pressures to abandon their childhood friendships they instead sustain their utopian (golden) visions of the future. It is 1968, rural Western Australia. As we glide along an undulating bitumen road up ahead we see, from a low camera angle, a school bus moving smoothly along the same route. Periodically a smattering of roadside trees filters the sunlight, but for the most part open fields of wheat flank the roadsides and stretch out to the horizon, presenting a grand and golden vista. As we reach the bus, music that has hitherto been a quiet accompaniment swells and in the next moment we are inside the vehicle with a fair-haired teenager. The handsome lad, dressed in a yellow school uniform, is drawing a picture of a boxer in a sketchpad. Another cut takes us back outside again, to an equally magnificent view from the front of the bus. This mesmerising piece of cinema—the opening of September (Peter Carstairs, 2007)— affords a viewer an experience of tranquillity and promise, and is homage to the notion of a golden age of youth.

  • Theatre Costume, Celebrity Persona, and the Archive
    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 2 THEATRE COSTUME, CELEBRITY PERSONA, AND THE ARCHIVE EMILY COLLETT ABSTRACT This essay considers the archived costume in relation to the concept of the celebrity performer’s persona. It takes as its case study the Shakespearean costume of Indigenous actress Deborah Mailman, housed in the Australian Performing Arts Collection. It considers what the materiality of the theatre costume might reveal and conceal about a performer’s personas. It asks to what extent artefacts in an archive might both create a new persona or freezeframe a particular construct of a performer. Central to the essay are questions of agency in relation to the memorialisation of a still living actress and the problematisation of persona in terms of the archived object. Can a costume generate its own persona in relation to the actress? And what are the power dynamics involved in persona construction when an archived costume presents a charged narrative which is very different to the actress’s current construction of her persona? KEY WORDS Costume; Archive; Deborah Mailman; Indigenous; Memory; Shakespeare COSTUME IN THE ARCHIVE: A CHARGED OBJECT In this essay I consider the archived theatre costume in relation to persona studies and what the materiality of costume might reveal or conceal about the celebrity performer’s persona(s). Can an archived costume have its own persona? What complexities arise when the charged historical narrative of an archived costume is at odds with a current persona? And in the following case study of Deborah Mailman, what happens when the framing of a living Indigenous actress’s costume constructs a persona that is quite different to the one that the actress currently constructs for herself? A costume worn by a performer live on stage is remembered in particular ways – and many in the audience might focus more on the performer’s stance, physicality, and verbal prowess than what they are wearing.

  • The Constitutive Role of African Australian Film1
    Culture is Our Future: The Constitutive Role of African Australian Film1 Anne Harris2 Monash University “It doesn’t matter what tone of fuckin’ black you are, you are black.” (Deborah Mailman, Black Chicks Talking, 2001)3 Abstract ‘Culture is our Future’4 is one example of an emerging body of film and video by and about African Australians, and in which ethics and aesthetics sometimes compete. Australian media representations of African Australians have been persistently negative, and many look to the ability of film and video to represent a counter-narrative in the co- construction of cultural and subcultural identities. Drawing on Appadurai’s5 cultural imaginary and mediascapes, this article will contextualise these films in a consideration of larger ‘filmic diasporas’ which represent the diversity and richness of African communities emerging in multiple diasporic locations (particularly Australia), and competing within multiple aesthetics. Simultaneously, this critique interrogates how these examples of gender and race6 may also be used as ‘mechanisms of exclusion’7, and how African Australians remain ‘constitutively visible’8 despite mainstream media attempts to render them invisible. 1 Editor’s Note: This article was submitted and reviewed prior to the author’s uptake of the role of co-editor of ARAS. All review processes were conducted anonymously and processed by the other editors. 2 Author’s Note: The author gratefully acknowledges the contribution of the anonymous ARAS reviewers who have, through the journal’s review process, contributed to the clarity and depth of the argument presented here. 3 Deborah Mailman, Black Chicks Talking.
