If you can, go and see Jennifer Flowers’ performance in The Chairs.  She and the outrageously lovely Eugene Gilfedder entertain us royally at La Boite, and the cherry on the cake is the third character…he is the surprise! such precision! Brian Lucas’ style is very visible: easily accessible despite the complexities and as poetic as can be.  I sat with a smile on my face from beginning to end, delighting in the subject matter, and in the enormous skill of the performers, all of them…but my eyes could not leave Flowers…each nuance connected with her audience…every look, isolation, breath…thank you Jennifer. It was, in a word, inspirational. Show has just opened. So go. Go and allow a story to stimulate and refine you.

A new service for all you hardworking artists!  (please forward this to anyone you believe may be interested).

I am offering a small, intimate and confidential supervision group to meet on a monthly basis.

It will be called “Supervision for Artists” and it is a time where we will  gather to discuss our practice, share our ideas and ‘thicken’ our ‘fabric of connectedness’; all aiming to strengthen our independent industry and our own relationships to it.  This will be a structured session facilitated by me.  I will also be incorporating coaching strategies; self care strategies; process work, creative arts.

We will meet for two hours on a monthly basis.  Initially i have said Wednesdays, the third Wed of the month, but this can change depending on availability.

WE will  share our stories; look at them through a collaborative and constructionist lens (in other words seeing things differently, from a different perspective, constructing it differently, understanding it differently; find new and deeper ways of operating.

Supervision is something that happens in the health field, but not in the arts.  Because our currency is emotion and humanity, i think it would be a way of helping the artist fulfill their potential without ‘falling in’ to burnout or depression. What i want to set up is a step BEFORE we feel we need to seek counselling.

Perhaps this will be a perfect way for people to feel secure and well.

Supervision is the opportunity to bring the difficulties/joys you are having within the industry (such as questions around casting, auditions, motivation, process, technique, agents, fellow collaborators, devising, directing, acting, stuckness, sadness, frustrations, ‘living a life in Brisbane’  etc etc etc….)

My objective, and it has been for several years now, is to make our independent theatre scene a strong, creative and viable community, where we support, nurture and create astonishing work.

Cost is $25.00.

Time for first meeting: Wednesday 21 April, 2010  Lunch time: 12pm-2pm.
