Stories of Love & Hate revisited 
A verbatim theatre presentation and workshop
Presented by Vitalstatistix in association with Urban Theatre Projects
 



Presentation
Part lecture, part performance, director Roslyn Oades revisits the making of Stories of Love & Hate, a unique headphone-verbatim performance based on a two-year interview process with people directly affected by the infamous December 2005 Cronulla Riots. Produced by Urban Theatre Projects (NSW) in 2008 and touring again in 2011, Stories of Love & Hate considers the idea of hate as a consequence of feeling the things we love are under threat. The result is a collection of interlinking personal stories told with affection, integrity and humour.

This presentation explores how and why theatre-makers represent real Australian stories. Roslyn will be joined by three of the original cast members, Mohammed Ahmed, Roderick Byrnes and Katia Molino, who will perform several excerpts from the show. An informative, inspiring night for anyone interested in theatre, culture or politics; and an alternative way to mark Australia/Survival Day without the flag waving.

Thursday 27th January & Friday 28th January at 7:30pm (90mins)

Nexus Multicultural Arts Centre, cnr North Tce & Morphett St, Adelaide

Entry $10 at the door




Headphone-verbatim theatre workshop with Roslyn Oades
 A one day workshop with Roslyn Oades - theatre-maker, voice artist and director of headphone-verbatim works Fast Cars and Tractor Engines (2005) and Stories of Love and Hate (2008).

Roslyn utilises an unusual verbatim technique she refers to as headphone-verbatim or audio-scripting, featuring the faithful reproduction of speech patterns. Actors literally adopt the actual words, breaths and speech mannerism of another human being with the aim of preserving the vocal print of a recorded interview. Headphone-verbatim also offers theatre-makers a paperless form of writing, constructing a performance script entirely via a process of sound editing.

A unique, rare opportunity, designed for performers and devisors, this practical workshop will offer participants the opportunity to explore and experiment with the possibilities of this exciting form on the floor including performing a pre-prepared audio-script.

27th & 28th January from 10am – 5pm (workshop repeated twice - choose one day)

Nexus Multicultural Arts Centre, cnr North Tce & Morphett St, Adelaide

$80/$60 conc, includes entry into Stories of Love & Hate Revisited evening presentation
