Hi! As most of you will know I have been given an amazing opportunity to travel for three months to the USA to train with the SITI company in Saratoga, and undertake a professional development project - the workshopping of a new verbatim theatre work - in New York City.
The SITI company is run by Anne Bogart, the creator of Viewpoints training for actors, and I'll be undertaking a month long intensive training in the Viewpoints and Suzuki methods with their amazing team of theatre creators.
And then Paul Lucas - one of New York's foremost producers of Queer and alternative theatre and cabaret, among a plethora of other talents - has invited me to work with him on The Gender Project: a brand new verbatim work about the experiences of Transgender people all around the world, which we'll be developing and shaping, in the hope of presenting a full productions both in Australian and the USA in the next couple of years.
I'm able to do these incredibly exciting projects thanks to the Independent Arts Foundation and Helpmann Academy, and the generous bequest of Neil Curnow through the Neil Curnow award, which I won early this year.
But as you might guess the US is an expensive place! Fees, Flights, Accommodation and all the other costs associated with travel and training mean that I'm currently sleeping rough in NYC, which I'll do if I have to, but I'd much rather have a roof over my head, so I can really focus on making some amazing work, which we plan to bring back here to Australia in the very near future - for you all to enjoy!
So I have this favour to ask you - as friends, and as people who know my work in the theatre: Please help me raise just $1000 more for my travels! In return you'll have my eternal gratitude, and some little tokens of my appreciation. For those of you who've got $20 or more that you can afford to part with we're also putting together an experience for you - a night of songs at La Boheme, featuring some wonderful local and interstate artists, to say thanks once again for your support.
