HER STORY Session 4: Jane Fuller (2008 - 2009)


Throughout the year, Vitalstatistix is presenting HER STORY - Sunday afternoon sessions hosted by the artistic leaders from our thirty-year history. As a full set or as a solo experience, HER STORY is a delightful, personal glimpse into Adelaide’s feminist theatre history and the story of Vitalstatistix. 

Join us for the fourth instalment with Jane Fuller (Creative Producer of Vitalstatistix in 2008 and 2009).

Jane joined Vitals at a time when Australian theatre – how it is made, how it is presented and how it is funded – was in flux. Under Jane’s leadership and responding to these changes, Vitals forged ahead into a new era focused on providing a supportive creative hub for independent artists to produce new work and broad cultural activity.

This HER STORY presentation will take the form of a conversation, with Jane joined by Jennifer Greer Holmes (former General Manager of Vitals). Together they will explore the significant transitions that occurred at Vitals during this time, and the new artistic relationships this created such as the company’s association with Sydney-based feminist art collective Brown Council, our significant collaboration with the South Australian African community through the Go-Go project, and many other highlights of Jane’s short yet significant tenure.

In celebration of the last day of winter and the soup-kitchen tradition at Vitals, we will be serving delicious vegetarian soup and crusty bread.

After winter, comes spring

We're hunkering down until the very last day of winter, getting ready to bring you an action-packed spring season.

In the meantime, we suggest scribbling the following dates into your diary:

31 AUGUST: our penultimate HER STORY event with Jane Fuller, 3-5pm at Waterside.

8 - 19 OCTOBER: QUIET FAITH is David Williams' timely exploration of the way that faith can underpin civic involvement and political activism.

2 NOVEMBER: our fifth and final HER STORY event with Emma Webb, 3-5pm at Waterside.

8 & 9 NOVEMBER: The VITALS COMMUNITY FAIR is the book fair you know and love with fewer books and lots more craft stalls, as well as performances and a few 30th birthday surprises...

14 NOVEMBER: Artist Mish Grigor will present the results of her Incubator residency, MAN O MAN. The work asks the question: what would be say, formally, on the last night of the patriarchy?

18 - 23 NOVEMBER: Presented as part of the Feast Festival, MY LIFE IN THE NUDE is Maude Davey's nude-performance-swansong and not to be missed!

29 NOVEMBER: our final 30th birthday event, the 30TH GALA FUNDRAISER will be a night to remember including live music, dancing and cutting of the Vitals birthday cake.
