KG2014 is an initiative of Kultour that brings artists working in the culturally and linguistically diverse artspace together with a team of provocateurs to interrogate “the practice”.
This year, one of the chief provocateurs is Angela Chaplin, about which people say:
Angela has been a professional theatre artist and event creator for over thirty years. She was a member of the acting ensemble of Australia’s first professional community theatre company, the Mill Community Theatre Company from 1982 to 1985.
In 1985 Angela was appointed CEO/Artistic Director of Arena Theatre Company. From 1988 to 1991 Angela was CEO/ Artistic Director of Magpie Theatre, State Theatre Company of South Australia. From 1991 to 2007 Angela was CEO/Artistic Director of Deckchair Theatre in Fremantle, WA, where she directed over thirty-five productions and commissioned sixteen writers. Angela also successfully directed Shakespeare in Kings Park for six years.
Her writing credits include Ningali; Thirteen Hundred Ashtrays; Mavis goes to Timor; Luna; Sappho Sings the Blues; and Black Madonna.
I feel fortunate enough to be participating in this year’s gathering in Brisbane, and would like to invite you to join the KG2014 provocateurs at the public presentation this Sunday.
