Performance Anxiety...
Ever experienced Performance Anxiety?
Brian has...
and he needs a hand to get it up again...
Whether ‘performing’ be in the bedroom, boardroom or the supermarket checkout queue, nationally acclaimed performer/ choreographer BRIAN LUCAS holds a mirror up to our anxieties revealing reflections which dazzle and provoke.
Returning after a highly successful inaugural World Theatre Festival 10 season, this remount of "Performance Anxiety" draws parallels between the anxieties of a performer and those we experience while ‘performing’ in our day-to-day lives.
Performed in an intimate cabaret setting at Brisbane Powerhouse, you’ll be able to sit back, wine in hand and absorb the tales of the terminally stressed, the people under pressure, and the heroes on their small crusades.
Brian combines dance, movement, physical imagery, voice and sound to create an intriguing and confronting performance.
“A seamless 90 minutes of lacerating performance that often had you with your mouth hanging open at the sheer bravura of the Beast…an undoubted master work” - Real Time
“One of Australia's most commanding actor-dancers" -The Australian
With a sound design performed live by Brett Collery and lighting design and production support by Andrew Meadows.
This is a remount season of "Performance Anxiety" which is being supported in-kind by Brisbane Powerhouse. We have all the production, marketing and ticketing costs covered ....what we don't have is some cash to pay Brian, Brett and Andrew for all their rehearsal and performance time. Might you, could you, please help us pay these fabulous artists as they recreate this wonderful work. All money raised will be going directly to the artists.
The Season: WED 24 OCT - SAT 3 NOV 2012, 9pm @ Brisbane PowerhouseThis one's special.... an intense, meaningful (and yes possibly sweaty) post-show hug from Brian...Come up in the foyer or bar and claim your reward!
Brian will spend some time at your table during an interval, bringing his special level of stress into your experience. Now, don't freak out...the show has 2 intervals every night and Brian always stays in the space...this way he'll just spend some quality time with you and your friends! (it's NOT audience participation)
Brian will work your name into the show on the night of the performance you attend. Listen out for it ;)
A ticket to the show of your choice (25 October -3 November) and a post-show meet and greet with the artists....they're friendly and fun!
A seat for you and a friend (ie two comp tickets) at the VIP table on Opening Night, Wednesday 24 October. One complimentary drink of your choice each and post-show meet and greet with the artists. Come and be a Very Illustrious Person with us!!
Brett Collery will give you a one-on-one ukelele lesson, concentrating on the camp classic "I Want To Teach The World To Sing". (Brett features on the uke in the show!)
Brian's first-born child.<br /> It's only going to happen once....
Brian takes a movement/physicality/relaxation/massage workshop for you and your friends (up to ten of you)...lots of physical fun! (we can discuss when and where!)
