Impulse Response

Impulse Response

“Impulse Response” was a 4-hour immersive installation where ceramics, sound, and video converged in a live, elemental dialogue. Master ceramicist Neville Assad-Salha commanded the wheel, shaping large clay forms that grounded the performance, while sound artists Mx Robert Frost and Panos Couros (Atunement) and video artist Liam Somerville (CAPITAL WASTE) amplified the experience. Contact and condenser microphones captured resonances from clay and airborne sounds, crafting an improvised soundscape that responded to the live clay-making process. Video projections intensified these impulses, merging sound, vision, and material into a powerful sensory experience. Audiences roamed freely, enjoyed the bar, and supported Beirut crisis relief through donations. The event was also live-streamed at 7:30 pm Adelaide time (ACDT) on Thursday, 5th December, 2024.

Singing the Lonely Heart

Singing the Lonely Heart

by Alana Valentine

Directed by Alex Galeazzi
Cast: Abigail Austin, Jane Phegan, Elaine Hudson, Rebekah Moore, Jason Montgomery, Peter Flett

In this Southern gothic fantasia, writer Alana Valentine uses the life of famed American novelist Carson McCullers, author of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding, friend of Tennessee Williams and dinner companion of Marilyn Monroe, to weave a tale of individuality battling the constraints and prejudices of small town conservatism.

Loosely biographical, the play follows Carson’s journey through Southern freak shows, New York drag bars and Parisian cemeteries, as she explores her identity, creativity and sexuality. SINGING THE LONELY HEART is a humorous and poignant study of sacrifice and triumph, told in a compelling magic realist production style.(Poster Photography by Waded, Production Photograph Bob Seary).

“This is theatre as good as it gets; ready for any major stage, here or overseas. … Moving, compassionate, tough, taut and terrific!” Brad Syke, Sydney Stage Online

“Transports us with something theatrical and magical … one of the most artistically polished and consistent productions I’ve seen at the New” Martin Portus, Sydney Star Observer

You’re Not Alone

You’re Not Alone

In 2016 I was commissioned by the Northern Territory AIDS and Hepatitis Council to research their 30 year history, and produced a book as well as an online multimedia time line. The book was called You’re Not Alone, and was comprised of transcribed and edited oral history interviews as well as original photographs from people throughout the 30 year history of the AIDS Councils of both Darwin and Alice Springs
