- Abstract
- Live performance of 'Twelfth Night by William Shakespear' directed by Kim Durban, Post Office Box Theatre, Ballarat. 14 - 18 June 2006. Research Background: Companies all over the world have produced this Shakespear play which enjoyed its first production by the Arts Academy. Research Contribution: This original Australian production used an innovative approach to the aesthetic of the play in 3 ways - first, by representing the characters using multiple actors who shared the lines and the part, second by using a peer actor to work alongside the graudate company and provide a professional role model and third by using a sculptor, a painter and a theatre designer as collaborators on the design setting. Research Significance: The significance of this research is that it proved the authenticity and theatrical flexibility of the material and provided sophisticated benchmarks for artist training. Durban's dramturgical approach also intersected with current Shakespeare scholarship and introduced the play to a regional audience. Its value is attested to by the following indicators: Cast and creative members have gained employment with national and international arts companies, including Steven Spielberg's 'The Pacific'.
