Orphanage of the Animals is a show written and performed by Karen Corbett.
Here she talks on the process of creating this work, its importance and the value of it for the stage. Having performed it a number of times and being a recipient of many awards for the show, she now looks forward to taking it to the next stage with the support of her production team.
The team at mothersmilk and I came up with some smashing ideas for trailers and Pozible launches. Go see the damn show and support independent new work here
Combine four brilliant actors, a shining light of a director and a witty piece of theatre by Neil LaBute and you get “reasons to be pretty”, the Australian Premiere at Theatreworks. Somehow, they convinced me to step into the room and I can surely say that i’s like being with a bunch of tall people in a bouncycastle. too…much….fun. You would be a munghead to miss it.

Occassionally, I dabble back on stage as an actor. This time around, a performance in Adeaide for the Fringe Festival in a show called Awake, written and directed by Fleur Kilpatrick. Also performing at La Mama in Melbourne in March.
On the road trip to Adelaide, we decided to park the car, hop out and make a trailer. It’s amazing what you can with a little resourcefulness!
The talented and lovely Sarah Walker produced our first trailer

When a piece of theatre receives this recommendation from the Ross Trust Award - “marked by beautiful tough, truthful writing” – you know you are in for something special.
With Peta Brady (also the writer) and Wilhelmina Stracke performing under the Direction of Sue Jones, it was a joy to be a part of the work for even a small amount of time.
Best wishes to them all for the season at La Mama. Go buy a ticket!

Gabrielle New and her team explore the form of Butoh movement in a new show at Theatreworks, CREATURE. They asked me to travel along and do some video for some further promotional and grant application submissions.
I had never seen Butoh before and I was thrilled to be in the space as they worked through their final tech and dress rehearsal. It has a limited season, so check it out this week.
