- Description: 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'.
The ethics of writing performance from the archive: The case of Georgiana Molloy

- Description: Abstract: Historian Greg Dening writes of history as performance. In his book Performances, he considers the limits of knowledge, claiming: we cannot describe the past independently of our knowing it, any more than we can describe the present independently of our knowing it. And, knowing it, we create it, we textualise it. That is the circle, hermeneutic if you like, of our human being. In the light of Dening's statement, I would like to reconsider my own exploration of the Australian colonial archive in writing for performance. My point of departure is a performative lecture, The More I Study Nature: Georgiana Molloy and the Code of Modernity, that I wrote as part of a larger creative work - a play, as yet unproduced, called Orchids and Insects. In the performative lecture, I follow the life story of Georgiana Molloy (1805-43), an early settler of Western Australia, and ask my reader - or audience - to consider the codes of knowledge and behaviour that we in the twenty-first century might have inherited from our colonial predecessors. My research journey led me to reflect upon the kind of stories we draw from the past, so that we might know ourselves in the present, and the role performance might play in this. I consider the choices we make about the stories that we as a culture celebrate and also, as I was to discover, the stories that we repress.

- Description: Partnerships with Industry Chrissie Louise Smith University of Ballarat Abstract Work experience or studio placement has historically been a staple in Graphic Design education. There is a high recognition of the importance of this hands-on approach to the student’s education. However there are limitations, studio placements are usually brief and the environments are generally fast paced, we have found that only a small number of students benefit from this situation. The Partnerships initiative builds on this idea of work integrated learning but broadens and deepens the student’s experience through working on a ‘real project’ with a client. To achieve this broader approach we facilitate engagement with clients on projects that involve research, as well as all elements of the design process including briefing, refining and critiquing. Another vital aspect of the Partnerships initiative is to arrange for our students to work with ‘Not for Profit’ organisations wherever possible. These organisations provide the scope that we were looking for and have the added benefit of engaging and building relationships with different sectors of the community. The projects our students are engaged in to date are still in progress but our findings so far indicate a sense satisfaction from the experience of working in collaboration with a client, getting really involved in the project and in some cases making a significant personal contribution to the community. The Partnerships initiative creates a greater opportunity for students to work on quite large projects that require a degree of research not normally facilitated by work experience and studio placements. It is anticipated that is initiative will give the student a broader view of the practice of Graphic Design and foster a long-term view of the discipline perhaps leading to further study and enhanced career decisions.

- Description: Live performance of 'Farragut' directed by Kim Durban, Red Stitch Actor's Theatre, St Kilda. 3 February - 6 March 2010. Research Background: Red Stitch Actor's Theatre has focussed on the production of contemporary plays from outside Australia for the last decade. Research Contribution: This contribution was the first production of 'Farragut North' by Beau Willimon, to be mounted outside the USA, and the first to be directed by a woman, during a season in which the Company focussed on the employment of female directors. It was the second highest selling play in the Company's history to date. Research Significance: This was a unique opportunity for Melbourne audiences to be introduced to the work of American playwright Beau Willimon. The playwright attended the season and claimed that this production was confident and excellent. The production was extensively reviewed, a sample of which can be found at http://www.redstitch.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65:farragut-north&catid=25:2010&Itemid=6 Subsequent Manifestations: In 2011 Red Stitch Actors Theatre released a book titled 'Ten Years' (by Red Stitch Theatre Actors Theatre, August 2011, Ligare: Sydney) to celebrate their tenth anniversary, and 'Farragut North' was featured on pages. The script was subsequently adapted by Beau Willimon, the playwright, with assistance of George Clooney and Grant Heslov. It was released as the film 'The Ides of March' in January 2012 and was nominated for Gloden Globe awards for Best Film and Best Actor (Ryan Gosling).

- Description: A review of Christopher Lee's 'City bushman: Henry Lawson and the Australian imagination' Henry Lawson is, indubitably, an iconic figure in Australian literary and cultural history, and Chris LeChristopher Lee’s City Bushman is a study of how that status was achieved and posthumously developed. While attention is paid to his literary reputation, and to the careful study and analysis of various statues and festivals produced in Lawson’s honour, the real interest of this book is in analysing the power relations and cultural transactions implicit in the public uses of Lawson.
