21.01.2022 What is Sentinel # 2084? A Performance- A tribe - We believe cultural and creative minds have a significant influencing power to help shape a sustainable Aust...ralia for the 21st century. Sentinel # 2084 is our contribution, our response to help communities build resilience and deal with the Climate Change emergency.

11.01.2022 Hey friends! Professional level performer training - with public performance outcome! Auditions soon, head to the website for more info https://www.coreperformers.com/the-core-studio and any questions, fire away!!!

08.01.2022 We're just over a week out from the auditions for our new training-performance program, and directors Lizzie and Carine have been deep in discussion about and preparation of what is to come. The training will be immersive and intensive, and of enormous benefit to those who want to bring more physicality and energy to their work. The performance is shaping into a double bill, with each shorter work directed by one practitioner in their own style, and supported by the outside... eye of the other. Carine is redeveloping a site specific, cross cultural and multidisciplinary performance interrogating the universal journey of Exile. Lizzie is developing a radical and highly physical reworking of Hans Anderson’s The Red Shoes, exploring the contemporary positioning of beauty- and love-addiction. This program will give performers the unique opportunity to work across two different styles of professional practice and ways of approaching work, as well as the training and theoretical framework that will support them in roles to come. Please make sure you register your interest in the audition on our website: https://www.coreperformers.com/the-core-studio and for any further information, please contact the directors: [email protected] See more

02.01.2022 I was talking recently with another practitioner here in Newcastle about the importance of ongoing training for performers. Jumping from one show to the next without progress, without a conscious commitment to refining and advancing your technique, teaches you very little, and you can get lost in the social aspect without actually achieving very much at all, which is a shame considering how much effort is put in! This article describes some of the reasons performers, much lik...e athletes, need to keep training and conditioning in order to really shine in doing what they do. I know. It's hard. We're busy. We're tired. But if you MUST perform, and you MUST keep creating work and telling stories, if it's something innate in you that you just can't leave behind, this is how to do it well, how to lift your game, and how to really progress, as an artist, as a collaborator, and as an important member of our creative industries. :) See more
