Ania Reynolds & Alisa Tanaka-King join Richard to talk about their show 'Dumplings Darling' and their approach to cultural sharing; being un-pretentious and inclusionary, using the cultural cross-section that is made up of food, music and storytelling.Joining Richard next is Anna Louey, the creator of 'A Dodgeball Named Desire', a show set up as a dodgeball game between theatre performers and professional sportspeople that playfully investigates the competition between theatre and sport in Australia and delves into the divide between high art (theatre) vs high spectacle (sports).Lastly, but definitely not leastly, playwright Patricia Cornelius & actor Darcy Kent talk about Patricia's new work 'In The Club', which makes a case study of and interrogates the idea of 'pack mentality' and the power it holds in society, especially in so-called 'Australian' culture. The show is also designed as a vehicle to bear witness to the bad behaviour that comes with pack mentality.Hosted by Richard Watts

Theatre First Episode 272Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). RUNT (fortyfive downstairs, Melbourne Australia) One small woman takes on the world. Following their incredibly successful and multi award-winning collaboration on SHIT, Susie Dee, Patricia Cornelius and Nicci Wilks have re-teamed to create RUNT, a play about the runts of the world: the lesser, the unwanted, the weak, those without clout, the insignificant; all the unders. Runt, a small, undernourished woman has endured enough of the misery of being the runt of the litter. She toughens up and attempts to take power, to lead the oppressed, to rise up and fight, for equality, for decency and what's right. She liberates sack after sack after sack of miserable runts. And she grows. She feels herself reaching eight foot or more. She gets a taste for what it means to be great. Trouble is, ‘greatness forgets runtness‘.

Alison Croggon, Susie Dee, Patricia Cornelius and Nicci Wilks at the Wheeler Centre Warning: This recording contains some repeated coarse language. Patricia Cornelius, Susie Dee and Nicci Wilks have been making radical and confronting theatre together for decades. ‘I've never believed the bullshit about how audiences don't like risk,' Cornelius has said. 'They actually really do. I've seen it.' Long-term collaborators, their work has more often found a home in innovative independent companies than in establishment state theatres. Yet their provocative Australian stories, dealing especially with issues of class and power, have brought them huge admiration among audiences and critics. Their admirers, it turns out, extend far beyond Australian shores. In 2019, Patricia Cornelius was named among the winners of the lucrative Windham-Campbell Prize, administered by Yale University. Two of her plays – SHIT and LOVE – were staged at the Venice Biennale in July that year. Those two productions were also shown in Melbourne at fortyfivedownstairs, directed by Dee and starring Wilks. Before they hit the road for Venice, we presented a conversation with the powerhouse trio at the Wheeler Centre. Join them as they speak with Alison Croggon about politics, performing arts and the power of making audiences squirm in their seats.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patricia Cornelius is a celebrated Australian playwright who writes about class, love, capitalism and the cruel things we do to each other. Her plays include LOVE, Savages, SHIT, Do Not Go Gentle and Who's Afraid of the Working Class? In this conversation, Patricia tells me about her working class upbringing, her journey through feminism to Marxism, her time in the radical Melbourne Workers Theatre and reflects on whether today's middle-class and staid theatre can still be a voice for class-conscious politics. Also we revel in the joy of some filthy swearing.

All four daughters have been called home by their matriarch mother to pay their respects and bunker down in the family home. The future seems wildly uncertain for all but the eldest sister, who has inherited a fortune and is engaged to the local heartthrob. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, will any of them have the power to alter their destiny? Renowned playwright Patricia Cornelius takes Federico García Lorca’s classic tragedy out of the villages of Spain and into the heat of rural Western Australia to explore themes of passion, repression, and isolation in an exhilarating adaptation directed by Leticia Cáceres.

One of Australia's most awarded playwrights, Patricia Cornelius isn't afraid to go where other writers won't. With titles like SHIT and SLUT, Patricia pushes her audience to pay attention to some of society's most visceral issues. In The Club was specially commissioned for the State Theatre Company of South Australia, and it shines a blinding light on accounts of sexual violence in one of our most beloved national sports. Patricia sat down with us to discuss her life in the theatre, and just what inspired her to write this uncompromising new work. In The Club runs as part of the Adelaide Festival 2018 from the 23rd of Feb to the 18th of March. Find tickets and further details here. Our thanks to Patricia and the State Theatre Company.If you want to support Deviant Women, follow us on: PatreonTwitter @DeviantWomenFacebook @deviantwomenpodcastInstagram @deviantwomenpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In our first episode we discuss Melbourne Theatre Company's Neon Season - the "Festival of Independent Theatre". We cover Gary Abrahams/Dirty Pretty Things "The Lonely Wolf", Patricia Cornelius' "SHIT" and Elbow Rooms "We Get It".
"I think [the larger companies] should be forced to take more risks.” - Melissa Reeves “Nurture the audacious. The works that you remember are works with audacity.” - Patricia Cornelius And... we're back! Fleur and Jana are talking to theatre-makers from Australia and abroad, with Kieran behind the mixing desk. Our second season will tackle the topic of responsibility. ‘Responsibility’ is a word that comes up a lot in art but its meaning is as multifaceted as the artists who use. It can mean ‘duty of care’ to your fellow practitioners, ‘responsibility’ to deliver the product the subscribers are paying for or not traumatising an audience who did not consent to be traumatised. But it can also mean responsibility to be brave. Brave enough to tell the hard stories. To press on wounds that need pressing. Sometimes the old adage that art ‘holds a mirror up to society’ is far to passive. Sometimes that mirror needs smashing. In this, the second season of Audio Stage, we are talking ‘responsibility in art’. Over the course of the next ten weeks we will be in dialogue with various practitioners, programmers and thinkers about what ‘responsibility’ means to them and how we remain ethical in art. Our first guests are playwrights Patricia Cornelius and Melissa Reeves. We talk about responsibility in playwrighting: the words we use, the stories we tell, the people we stage, and the playwrights we give money to. “I’ve never believed the bullshit about how audiences don’t like risk. They actually really do. I’ve seen it. I’ve been in enough audiences that are asleep and I’ve seen them wake up when there is something that unsettles them... I think an audience is dying to be offended.” - Patricia Cornelius Discussed in this episode: Andrew Bovell; academic research and ethics procedures; Aboriginal and white theatre-makers; rulebooks for making ethical art: Y/N?; telling real-life stories: 'how did you know my first wife was a hair-dresser?'; Diane Brimble; identifying with characters; the whitest story ever told about Kenya; Steven Sewell; why white women are so much more concerned about their responsibilities than white men; why a lion is always played by a black actor; Jana's students at the VCA; Myall Creek Massacre; George Brandis; and Melbourne Workers' Theatre. "I remember reading this fantastic poem by this Aboriginal woman, and it said: 'If you're writing this because you want to help me, you know, just fuck off. But if you're writing this because your liberation is bound up in my liberation, then, you know, go ahead, come with me'. And it was a beautiful invitation." - Melissa Reeves Stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come.
