What we are asking for:

500 for Set - We'll be working heavily with our set designer to create a set that is not only beautiful and creative enough to tell the story, but also one that is durable and lightweight enough to tour on the road with us.

300 for Props and Costume - We keep warning people 'we're very silly with our words'. Well, there's actually a stage description that says "She pulls out a part of Oliver". As in body part. So, yeah. We'll need that.

200 for Lights and Sound - You can't tell a story about two non-characters never quite meeting in the darkness without quality lights and sound.

400 for Photography and Video - We're looking to capture high quality footage and production stills of the debut season in August - an all-important support and selling tool when approaching funding and performance institutions.

Total - 1400

All other budget items for A Feat Incomplete (excluding the artist fees) are collateral we believe to be specific to the season at the Old 505 and, as such, are covered by David and Erica's own contribution.

Any amount raised over our current target will be put towards the artists and designers fees so it more accurately represents the time and energy they are committing to the project.  

3X Artists Fees (2 Actors + Director) @ $500 pw X 4 weeks rehearsal = $6000 (In kind/ profit share)

3X Designer fee @ $500 = 1500 (In kind)

David and Erica have lovingly and carefully cultivated this piece through over a thousand hours of development. It is a unique and vital piece of Australian work that challenges relationships with the people we are most intimate with, puts our longing for completion under the microscope and is now ready to be witnessed. Our work in the creation of this exciting new theatrical piece is done, and done well. The next step is to gain some financial support to kick start the next step of the journey. That is where this campaign comes in.

What Is A Feat Incomplete About?

A magical horned woman is searching for her identity where she shouldn't be. Her privacy is shattered, talking fungi sprouts and she is distractted from her gentle questing. A mysterious other, a man, exchanges sweet nothings with her as she struggles to confine her reality to simple stories, unravelling language and destroying meaning in an attempt to communicate.  A Feat Incomplete both embraces storytelling as a beautiful human tool for connection and challenges us to let go of any meaning-making and discover what is beyond. 

A Feat Incomplete has been created in the heart of Sydney independent theatre scene. In the hands of Erica J Brennan and David Buckley this new work is an absolute explosion of fantasy, quirk and heart, a vital piece to see this year. 

It's all ready to go out and delight audiences, with a bit of help.
