Artmedia News
Welcome to the June 2006 edition of the
Artmedia physical theatre newsletter, your e-publication with an
Australasian focus and a global perspective, now in its fifth year and
reaching over 2,100 subscribers, with a further 5,300 on related Yahoo
lists.
In the Sponsorship this month, we welcome back Arts Hub, Australia's only
online arts employment resource, giving you all the up-to date job
information you need to stay ahead of the pack. Join Arts Hub now and be
included in the Winter Winners Campaign and the draw for an all expenses
paid holiday for 2 people to Club Med Lindeman Island!
I view this newsletter a little like street theatre... at the end of the day you are standing with your hand on your heart and your hat in your hand, you've got a fifty dollar note from a fan, a few twenties, some tens, and hopefully lots of fives, and then the gold coins, and yet probably half your audience has walked away without paying, depending on their mood and finances, and it still works out fine for everyone... In the same way, if you value this newsletter, one way you can give something back is to take a Feature, Special Feature or a Sponsorship in the publication, and we thank those that do, and encourage you to support them.
Another way to participate is to take a page on the Artmedia site, or possibly buy a paperback copy of Angels Can Fly , or do a workshop. In the Angels Can Fly section, we continue a series of excerpts from the book, with another of the exercises, one that you can each try in your own time. And in the Playspace section we have information on the September Clown Intensive in Sydney, and the Clown Summer School Retreat in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsular in New Zealand.
This month I also offer a new way for
the more wealthy amongst you to both support me, and also potentially earn
good returns, by investing in my film, Moontan, a
Clown's Story. The casting for this production is now closed and we are
in the process of selecting our lead actors. Thanks to everyone who
applied. Our Production Manager, Lisa, has started work, and we have cast
the support roles through local auditions in Wanganui. The crew, script and
location are also all in place. Investments of as little as NZ$1,000 now
have the chance to earn this investment back early, from DVD sales, and also
to take 1% of the profits from television and ancillary sales, in addition
to receiving an autographed DVD and invitations to screenings at film
festivals. Find more information at:
www.artmedia.net.nz/investment.htm
In the Special Features, Australian theatre ensemble, Frank Theatre, and
Theatre Initiatives UK join forces to present Hamlet Stooged! a new play by
Brisbane writer John Nobbs, to be shown at Hoxton Hall in London. The
company will also be teaching a ten day workshop in the UK, offering the
Suzuki Actor Training Method within Frank's own hybrid framework.
In the networking, the Angry Mime company have moved their monthly open
performance event in Brisbane, Australia, to a new venue, while in Hong
Kong, the International Drama in Education Association is calling for
performance work for the IDEA2007 Congress, and in the UK, the Generating
Company are seeking Strap, Hoop, Cloudswing and Acrobat/Bungee artists for a
Halloween show to be staged at Universal Studios, Osaka, Japan. Applications
close at the end of this week for these 18 positions in an ensemble show
featuring 124 performers.
As I predicted at the ACAPTA Conference in Geelong last year, 'if Australia didn't get it together to support our clown tradition with appropriate training, other countries would steal the march on us...' and now in California, in a new collaboration between the Experimental Performance Institute at New College of California and the Clown Conservatory at San Francisco Circus Center, an 'MA/MFA in Creative Inquiry, with an emphasis in Experimental Performance and Clowning', has been created. Yay! Also in America, the School for Mime Theatre has information on a professional two week Summer Seminar in Gambier, Ohio.
In the UK we have a call for submissions of artists' film and video for Short Circuits Interrupted, a Sheffield based project to be screened on the 12th July, and a call for contributions to Perform magazine, a new free print magazine which is also available to download. And the Brighton & Hove Arts Commission are seeking a new outdoor performance piece that can be performed in and around Brighton & Hove in September. The commission is for £7,500 and proposals are to be submitted by this Friday, 23rd June.
And finally, after a first meeting in Paris in 2005, Clowns Without Borders held their second international meeting last month in Barcelona. The two days of debate and discussion brought further coordination between the Clowns Without Borders of the many different countries and reinforced collaboration between Clowns sans frontières in France, Payasos sin fronteras in Spain, Clowns et magiciens sans frontières in Belgium and Clowns utanGränser in Sweden. Also present were the North American organizations from United States and Quebec.

Angels Can Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide, by Alan Clay
Angels
Can Fly is now in over 100 Public Libraries in America, Australia and New
Zealand, and we are steadily supplying requests for the free e-Book version.
Yes this is still available (but includes none of the over 70 photographs
which the paperback contains) at
www.alanclay.com
Or you can now go to a new service Google Books,
http://books.google.com
, where you can search for the book, and then search within it for your
particular interests, and read a limited number of pages free on line.
This month we continue a series of excerpts from the book, with another of
the clown exercises, one that you can each try in your own time.
Observing Silence
This exercise requires us to undertake three days of silence, during which we go about our normal daily lives, but without any talking. This gives us an opportunity to observe others, and our surroundings, from a new perspective. It is quite good to put others more at ease by indicating the exercise we are undertaking by wearing a badge, or carrying a written note, stating that: "I am observing silence". The exercise demands the development of non-verbal communication skills, to deal with the need of negotiating our everyday world without words. We can also write notes in response to questions or specific communication needs if we must, but as much as possible we want to try and converse physically with gestures and physical expression.
Coaching Tips
This is one of the strongest exercises that I recall from the Fools School,
that I attended in Stockholm in 1977, taught by Michael Lynch. As much as
possible we should maintain our normal daily routine, and pretty soon we
start to see things from a different perspective. The best part is that
after the initial interest in our exercise, others often allow our
participation in a situation without expecting a response from us. This
means that we get to be there, like a fly on the wall, without the demands
of normal interaction, which gives a wonderful opportunity to observe our
lives from a new perspective.
Angels can Fly includes a mix of fiction which follows the adventures of ten
clown characters, some personal clown anecdotes from clowns from around the
world, a total of 50 practical clown exercises, and some theory on the
nature of modern clown. The book is available on order through bookshops and
online stores in New Zealand, Australia, America and England. Order your
copy today. Find it on Amazon by following this link:

"Clown is a fascinating, diverse, complex and exciting art form, which has
existed around the planet for thousands of years. Like any art form it has
to evolve to stay relevant to the culture nurturing it, and at the same
time, and by its very nature, clown teases and turns upside down the
cultural patterns and boundaries around us."
Playspace: Clown Intensive in Sydney, Australia, and Summer School Retreat in Sandy Bay, New Zealand
Alan's workshops are
consistently described as challenging and fun.
"Alan keeps you on the edge of the unknown in his teaching work, so you are
always comfortable, but always discovering new things. As the work
progresses, this process leads to a sense of freedom which produces better
and better performing work."
One Week Clown Intensive with Alan
Clay, September 11 to 15. (5 day) Earlybird Aus$500 (by August 11th) Aus$600
(full)
Clown is an art form which has existed for thousands of years, and undergone
a revolution in recent times, as it made the leap back from circus into
theatre, giving birth to 'new clown' and physical theatre. This course takes
a broad view of clown, which allows students room to develop their own
unique style. Each day starts with a yoga warm up, followed by exercises to
develop physical and emotional expression, and improvisational exercises to
develop comic timing and audience rapport. This workshop will also include
opportunities for those who want to create clown performance material. We
often have ideas or images of
what we want to do, but we need a structure to help us develop these. This
workshop is designed to help with this process.
Clown Summer School Retreat ,
Wednesday January 10 to Sunday 14, (5 day) Sandy Bay, Coromandel
Peninsular, New Zealand. Including 6 nights accommodation, Price Buster
NZ$520 (by 1st Sept), Earlybird NZ$620 (by 1st Nov), NZ$720 (full) A NZ$100
deposit is payable to hold a place.
The Clown Retreat will be held in a secluded studio by the beach at Sandy
Bay, at the top of the Coromandel Peninsular, about four hours drive from
Auckland, New Zealand. The fees include six nights accommodation with
kitchen facilities. The Clown Retreat is timed to be held just before the
world buskers Festival in Christchurch for those coming for the summer
season in New Zealand. The Retreat will provide an opportunity to reconnect
with that playful, inquisitive, cheeky, clown spirit in a beautiful outdoor
setting.
"In the best clown tradition Alan held up a
window-mirror for us to step through and reflect on the patterns, habits and
rituals of our days... It was funny, moving and excellent theatre." NZ
Herald.

Special Feature: Australian Theatre Ensemble Frank Theatre, and Theatre Initiatives UK present Hamlet Stooged! in Hoxton Hall, London, plus a UK Workshop
Australian theatre ensemble,
Brisbane-based Frank Theatre, and Theatre Initiatives UK join forces to
present Hamlet Stooged! a new play by Brisbane writer John Nobbs with a
combined cast of London actors -Nina Fog, Dan Canham and William Dickie,
plus London-based Australian, Fran Barbe - alongside Frank Theatre members.
This
EuroFrank presentation of director Jacqui Carroll's production of
Hamlet Stooged! will be shown in Hoxton Hall,
London on July 20 & 21 2006 at 8pm
Brisbane-based Frank Theatre delivers innovative, visually stunning theatre
and manages to do it with minimal cast and minimal props specializing in
"Suitcase" theatre, where the whole show can be packed in one or two
suitcases and taken around the world. This is the intention with Hamlet
Stooged!, previewed in a sneak preview season at The Brisbane Powerhouse in
January. Directed by Jacqui Carroll, this production is a modern, urban
update on the classic Hamlet, focusing on his madness and inner turmoil
through a series of bizarre dreams and nightmares.
"Somewhat
complex at times, it reminds me of the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, in
a disconnected and sensual way... Ira Seidenstein draws on his Cirque du
Soleil background as the Russian Joker and Leah Shelton is sensational as
the Gothic Cabaret style Ophelia. She is sensual, erotic and quite mad,
delivering a very burlesque performance of her character including a semi
strip tease. It is worth seeing this production for her performance alone.
The show includes modern music such as Public Image Limited, Tokyo Shock
Boys and the original sixties version of the Locomotion." Lisa Lamb,
Tsunami 2006
UK Workshop
From July 10 to 19 In Frank Theatre will conduct a Ten Day Intensive at the
Central School of Speech and Drama, Swiss Cottage, London. This workshop
offers the highly regarded Suzuki Actor Training Method within Frank's own
hybrid framework, Frank/Suzuki Performance Aesthetics.
Frank Theatre's workshops are aimed at
students of theatre studies and professionals that are interested in seeking
exciting cross-cultural training experiences. Students of dance who wish to
extend their skills base will also find this study challenging and
intriguing. This course of study is for those in the community who are
expressly interested in a performance study course based on Eastern
principles. Tadashi Suzuki, creator of the Suzuki method, has granted
International Trainer status in his Method to course directors John Nobbs
and Jacqui Carroll.
Through group training participants will envelop themselves in a collective
energy and are introduced to the concept that the body of the actor must
first learn to occupy stage space. Visible energy and measurable muscular
tasks are asked of the participants. Clear physical demonstration and
practical assistance, the hallmark of Frank Theatre's highly regarded
workshops, will be available through Frank Theatre company members who will
be present at each session.
Frankly Acting
Recently published Frankly Acting,
written by co-director/actor/trainer/writer John Nobbs, outlines the
development and application of the Frank/Suzuki Performance Aesthetics.
Australian critic and theatre writer Martin Buzacott says of Frankly Acting:
John Nobbs' Frankly Acting is the first Australian
book espousing a uniquely homegrown theatrical performance theory. As
Grotowski did in Poland and Artaud in France, Nobbs has articulated an
Australian performance aesthetic which revivifies in a contemporary context
the theatrical traditions of its geographic region. With illuminating
references to popular culture, his Suzuki-inspired method is based on
rigorous theatrical discipline, but with an ever-present and distinctively
Australian sense of humour. Frankly Acting grounds its theory in the
artistic heritage of the Asia-Pacific, with a theatrical resonance which is
universal.
"It was, to say the least, a most thought-provoking
and stimulating read, a treatise that elucidates the modus operandi of your
company in a clear and exciting way. It was an utterly good read from start
to finish... the style of reading was (aptly) frank and refreshingly
non-academic... a case where the form really fit the content, and every page
had me aching to see another performance of FRANK!" Jon Brokering
Assoc.Professor Drama&Theatre Hosei University Tokyo
This unique actor study offers an intense body/voice experience fully
incorporating the Suzuki Actor Training Method bedded in the deep
philosophical and creative framework of the Frank/Suzuki Performance
Aesthetics. This 21st century approach to the acquisition of performance
skills is a new paradigm which enriches the participant/student because of
its holistic approach.

Networking
"The Angry Mime, Brisbane is in a new venue. For the last five years, the Angry Mime has been working out of the Stores Building at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Now we're stepping out of our comfort zone and moving downtown, to work out of 54 Berwick St, Fortitude Valley.

"Outdoor Performance Commission - Brighton. The Brighton & Hove Arts Commission's making a difference programme and Everyday Sport wish to commission a new outdoor performance piece. The commission is part of the 'Say Aah' arts and health strand. The commission is to create a performance piece that can be performed in and around Brighton & Hove on Car Free day, Friday, September 22nd 2006. The performance should encourage people to think about the benefits of a more healthy lifestyle with particular emphasis on integrating exercise into everyday activities like walking to work. It should be entertaining and original, designed to gather a large audience with the ability to catch attention from passers by. The performance should be performed at least three times and take place in at least two different public outdoor locations in the city. We anticipate that the performance will be between 30 and 45 minutes. The performance will take place on the same day as Bicycle Ballet, one of a number of new events created by the Arts Commission following a city-wide call for ideas in 2005. Performances that can be repeated/ toured to other venues will be favoured. Artists are invited to submit a short proposal including: A brief outline of your idea, Information as to where you would hope to perform, performance times and a rough performance schedule, An outline budget. The Commission is for £7,500. All staging and marketing costs should be included.

"The Clowns Without Borders unite their efforts After a first meeting in Paris in 2005, the Clowns Without Borders held their second international meeting May 1 and 2 of this year in Barcelona. The two days of debate and discussion brought about further coordination between the Clowns Without Borders of the many different countries. This meeting reinforced collaboration between Clowns sans frontières (France), Payasos sin fronteras (Spain), Clowns et magiciens sans frontières (Belgium) and Clowns utanGränser (Sweden). Also present were the North American organizations (United States and Quebec). The principal reason behind this collaboration is to discuss experiences and working methods so that activities may be better coordinated and a common frame of reference defined. This collaboration also aims to focus its need-based efforts on particular countries. Therefore, following a first mission organized by the French association in Sudan in March 2006, a two to three year project associating the different Clowns Without Borders in Europe will be held to benefit the refugees and displaced people of Sudan. The next international Clowns Without Borders meeting will be held in Stockholm on May 11-13, 2007 in order to assess measures taken in 2006 and define new common objectives for 2007."
