Successful on 1st Feb 2014 at 12:00PM.
Help internationally acclaimed 'Casus' bring their premier solo work to the stage.

Jerk, a 60 min solo performance by Emma Serjeant - directed by john Britton, an incredible and unique UK based theatre practitioner.

Tripping. Falling. Plummeting.
A woman at the edge, taking just a tiny step forward.
Microphones so close you'll hear every breath, every tightening sinew, every pore opening and closing... What exactly is she thinking, as she steps off the pavement edge? Is she thinking anything? Is she even awake?
Falling forward into the unknown, or jerking back to the familiar?

Internationally acclaimed 'Casus' bring their premier solo work to the stage in a provocative and exquisite piece of circus.
An intimate journey enriched with fluid skills, surprising beauty and raw emotion.

Performed by Emma Serjeant (Casus) and directed by John Britton.(Duende-ensemble)

'Serjeant is a powerhouse of deceptive strength' – Edinburgh Festival Mag

How The Funds Will Be Used

All funds raised by this campaign will go directly to the development and longevity of JERK.
Predominantly, the major cost of the project is getting the performance to it's premier in Perth.
Flying John from the UK, Emma and Production Manager from Brisbane, collaborating with a sound designer, creating a lighting design, costume design, props and rehearsal space add up to $15,000
The pozible campaign goes directly into these costs and keeps Casus an independent and pioneering company.

The Challenges

The Project is already under way so there is no turning back now! This project is hugely risky and challenging, as with Knee Deep, the first show that Casus made, we didn't know what we were going to make, but we invested time and energy whole heartedly and passionately and people believed in the show. I am more than ever committed to making this project work and i believe in that, lies the success.
