From 2016 to 2019 Hayley Millar Baker produced five photographic series. Made almost exclusively in black and white, the photographs use historical reappropriation and citation, in tandem with digital editing and archival research, to consider human experiences of time, memory and place. 

There we were all in one place brings these five bodies of work together for the first time to consider the ways in which Millar-Baker uses photography and storytelling to re-author history and assert the authority of memory and experience across generations.

“An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where they think they’re at somewhere. You always have to realise that you’re constantly in a state of becoming.” Bob Dylan, No Direction Home.  

Australian theatre is in a constant state of becoming; it adopts the experiences of our lives and assumes their shape.  Inspired by the example and teaching of illustrious Drama Centre alumni Emma Beech (Photobox – Adelaide Festival) and Caleb Lewis (Cathedral – State Theatre Company), the 2022 graduating BCA (Drama) actors have created new works for performance exploring the themes of growing-up, moving into the unknown, and the chaos that happens in between.  Join us for a special presentation of these new works-in-progress by the next generation of South Australian performers at the Adelaide Festival Centre Drama Rehearsal Room, as they give shape to their own stories, and mark their coming of age on stage.

WHICHEVER SIDE YOU CHOOSE. YOU'LL BE WRONG

OLEANNA premiered 30 years ago and is recognised as one of the most significant and fascinating plays of the late 20th Century - a contemporary classic about power, language, and sexual harassment.

A male college Professor and his female student meet in his office to discuss her grades and in a terrifyingly short time become participants in a modern reprise of the Inquisition! Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning, banter gives way to heated assault and the relationship between teacher and student turns into an X-ray of the mechanisms of censorship, abuse and tragedy. 

David Mealor, Flying Penguin Productions Artistic Director, says “OLEANNA is a work that remains relevant to the present and speaks immediately and urgently to the zeitgeist of our times. We promise a stimulating night of theatre that will definitely provoke discussion and debate.”

OLEANNA is realised by an all SA creative team of David Mealor as director, Kathryn Sproul set and costumes, Chris Petridis lighting, Quentin Grant as composer and stars Georgia Laity and Renato Musolino.
