- Abstract
- 'Cloudstreet', directed by Ross Hall, consisted of 5 live performances at the Post Office Box Theatre, Ballarat during October 2010. The production used the theatrically adapted text by Nicholas Enright and Justin Monjo, based on the original novel by Australian novelist Tim Winton, to explore narrative structures and their relationship to performative transposition from host medium (the novel) to live theatrical performance. The research also explored the parameters of Black Box theatre (theatre performed in a bare black box space), specifically as this relates to large cast productions, where the use of corporeal representation replaces conventional stage machinery (set and costumes). The production also explored the stylistic representational mode of 'naturalism' within the specific context of Australian family drama. The work constitutes part of my ongoing research with respect to adaptation processes and theatrical prepresentation in contemporary Australian pedagogically-based theatre.
