22.01.2022 Upcoming events by regular Playing Field Studio Inc hirers Somebody's Aunt! She did it HER WAY is a series of performance interventions for public spaces, devised by choreographer Julie-Anne Long in collaboration with Somebody's Aunt, an ensemble of improvising older Canberra women. Somebody's Aunt questions the notion of ageing in the popular media which suggests one should 'quieten down, stay at home and be less visible'. ... The women of Somebody’s Aunt claim sovereignty, expanding their public personas in various playful performance guises, as women on the move! Moving in unconventional ways they incongruously unleash private women’s worlds into the public domain. Saturday 26 October at 2.30pm and at 3.30pm Verity Lane, Sydney Building, Canberra City beginning at the southern end of the lane Free Pictured: Jane Ingall, Sue Andrews, Julie Rickwood, Anne Embry, Claudia Cresswell, Prue Gleeson Borman, Suzannah Salojarvi. https://www.facebook.com/SomebodysAunt This event is part of the You Are Here Festival YAH_Red.png Accessibility: Wheelchair Accessible | Outdoors | Uneven surface | No seating | This is a performance which will move through the laneway

07.01.2022 "Despite cultivating a solid reputation on the local short play circuit, it wasn’t until Palfreman became the 2019 Artist in Residence at Playing Field Studio, a local, volunteer-run community arts space, that he began to seriously consider putting together a show of his own. I’d been toying with the idea for a while, but getting the residency gave me the chance to set myself a definitive goal and deadline. Just knowing that I have a space I can go and spend some time puttin...g words on paper or pacing around the room shouting out dialogue without the neighbours thinking I’m mad has been huge. I can’t thank Playing Field enough.
