How Big Is Your Gun?

Supported by Fairfield City Council and Community Partnerships

Industrial wasteland sounds hum through the night; fluro lights flicker outside a warehouse while the industrial fans whir with the wind. The audience enters a derelict warehouse in south west Sydney. They meet Amoeba Ali – The gatekeeper to Australia’s power realm. The town of Fairfield has been taken captive by a force. In order to reclaim Fairfield, a challenge is to be taken up. The audience is to go on a quest to bring back the key. The audience members can pick a character through the various ethnic profiles, they select a combo – a series of characteristics and moves that extends the character’s ability to ‘clear a 100′. The audience have the ability to vote for a map change that will take them to suburbs that are alien and to change surroundings to escape the dreaded ‘authority’.The action begins when Amoeba Ali screams “fight!”.

How Big Is Your Gun? is a large scale performance event, created with young men from western Sydney.

Performance Season: December 2007

My Space, My Place

A partnership between sliced bread attraction and PYT

Regardless of our age, gender, race or abilities we all have one thing in common- we have all come from somewhere- A Place. How that place differs for each person though is what makes each and everyone of us unique. That place with all its sounds, smells and images stir all kinds of emotions in us some accessible by memory and some remaining just as feelings. It is these places and the emotions and memories strongly attached to them that give an enormous weight to that place and subsequently that place plays a hugely significant and important role in the shaping of our lives and the creating of the person that we are. My Space, My Place is devised with artists and people of mixed abilities This will be Stage 4 of the My Space, My Place project.

Director: Alison Richardson
Design: Kate Shanahan
