Personal Pastiche with post

The Australian company post creates original works of theatre, devised and performed by the artists.
 
In this workshop, post’s directors, Zoë Coombs Marr and Mish Grigor, introduce strategies for finding possibilities for performance from source material, and utilise personal stories and found text to help participants explore ways to begin new creative work and to analyse fresh and occasionally contradictory ideas.
 
Taking post’s performance history as a starting point, they guide participants through a series of fun devising activities and big brainstorms on how to knit together critical thinking and strange hunches.

post
For thirteen years, Australian company post – Zoë Coombs Marr, Mish Grigor and Natalie Rose – have collaborated on work that straddles live art, theatre and contemporary performance. They take being silly very seriously, combining with a deep irreverence for the institution of theatre with a deep reverence for the magic moment of live performance. Since starting out in Sydney’s independent contemporary scene, they have been commissioned by some of Australia’s leading theatre companies and festivals, including Sydney Theatre Company (Who’s the Best?, 2011), and Belvoir & Sydney Festival (Oedipus Schmoedipus, 2014 premiere, 2018 international tour). Their latest work, Ich Nibber Dibber, premiered at Sydney Festival 2017, is currently touring nationally in Australia.
