AIM Dramatic Arts students storm Western Sydney
|
The Australian Institute of Music’s Dramatic Arts department (AIM Dramatic Arts) tour of STORM IN A TEACUP: THE TEMPEST & TWELFTH NIGHT to three Western Sydney performing arts venues. Directed by Jo Turner (The Tempest) and Peta Downes (Twelfth Night), designed by Megan Venhoek, with lighting design by Martin Kinnane and sound design by Nate Edmondson, the show includes two one-hour adaptations of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies in a visual and physical exploration of love, power and disguise, which will showcase nineteen final year Bachelor of Performance students. Director of Twelfth Night and Head of Dramatic Arts, Peta Downes says “Bachelor of Performance graduates know how to perform, collaborate and produce their own work, which makes them professionally ready and immediately employable. This production has enabled our final year students to work on an adaptation of a classic text for a specific community (high school students) with an experienced theatre-making team, and work towards a touring that performance as both creators and performers”. STORM IN A TEACUP: THE TEMPEST & TWELFTH NIGHT will be performed in a short season at the Pilgrim Theatre in Sydney’s CBD from 20th-22nd April, before touring to the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith on the 26th, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre on the 27th and Bankstown Arts Centre on the 28th April.
