Classics sit at the heart of La Boite’s 2013 Mainstage season.

Holding the Man is one of Australia’s great love stories, and the stage version of this fascinating memoir has played around the world. But now we’ve assembled a new all-Queensland cast to breathe fresh life into the original production, last seen in London’s West End. The story is a frank

coming-of-age tale set during the ’70s and ’80s and into the ‘90s – social history and theatrical invention combine in quite moving ways.

Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie is one of the most loved plays of the American theatre – a gorgeous heart-breaker if ever there was one – but we have a hunch there’s a lot more to it and are keen to dust it off

in a way that will give it a surprising new glow.

La Boite teams up with The Danger Ensemble and the Brisbane Festival to completely remake L. Frank Baum’s brilliant story The Wizard of Oz.

We aim to bring the wonderful world of Oz screaming into the 21st century, transformed through the matchless skills of one of

Brisbane’s most inventive and explorative independent theatre companies.

Classics can be turned new, and the new can become classics. Food is a new play that sits on the La Boite menu along with

Blue Love (2009), Stockholm (2010) and Tender Napalm (2012) as pieces in which dance and movement provide stunning new dimensions. Kate Champion’s dance theatre work is beautifully

human, and her influence helps transform Steve Rodgers’ generous story into a delicious theatre experience.

We’re also offering six productions as part of La Boite Indie, many of which explore the edges of theatrical form, as well as a jam-packed range of curriculum-based workshops for students and professional

development workshops for teachers.

La Boite has always has a very close relationship with the education sector, and we’re very proud to offer work and experiences that we trust

will really enhance your teaching and your students’ learning.

HoLding tHe ManBy toMMy MurPHy FroM tHe Book By tiMotHy conigrave director david BertHoLd

Timothy Conigrave’s book Holding the Man won the United Nations Human Rights Award for Non-Fiction. It is one of Australia’s best-selling memoirs and one of Australia’s great love stories. It was adapted for the stage by Tommy Murphy and directed by David Berthold in 2006 and has since played most capital cities and London’s West End. Charting the long-term relationship of Conigrave and John Caleo, Holding the Man is hilarious, touching and bittersweet. It’s a poignant and inspiring story that transcends generations, sexual preferences and cultures.

Seen through Tim’s eyes, the relationship evolves over fifteen years, from when the boys first meet at high school in the mid-1970s until John’s untimely death. Imaginative and intelligent, this touching story of an actor and the captain of the football team is surprisingly funny and reminds us that, in the end, all we’re left with is love.

A must-see for students, parents and teachers, Holding the Man uses clever theatrical devices and deceptively simple prose. Humour and pathos inspire the conversations you haven’t quite had about love, lust, trust and prejudices.

FoodBy steve rodgers directors kate cHaMPion & steve rodgers

Food explores a new theatrical form. Steve Rodgers’ script calls for vivid physical imagery at times when words just aren’t enough. This use of expressive movement is in the La Boite tradition of Stockholm and Tender Napalm, though quite gentle and delicious. Inspired by real people in real situations, Food explores the contrasts of our multicultural country and the conflicting emotions we sometimes feel when we are faced with food, and sex.

This is a co-production of Sydney’s great Belvoir company and Force Majeure, directed by Kate Champion. Champion is one of Australia’s leading dance theatre makers.

Sisters Elma and Nancy run a greasy takeaway joint located somewhere between two remote Australian towns. While they dream of a better life, a Turkish traveller, Hakan, appears and throws a bit of spice into the mix - cleaning, cooking and charming the pants off them…literally! As the sisters’ dreams become their new reality and the roadhouse-turned-restaurant proves increasingly popular with the locals, audience members are invited to break bread with the actors in the communion that is contemporary theatre.

tHe gLass Menagerie By tennessee WiLLiaMs director david BertHoLd

The Glass Menagerie is a symbol-rich memory play, a great classic of the American theatre, and the most autobiographical of Williams’ plays. It is based on one of Williams’ short stories, Portrait of a Girl in Glass, published in 1948.

Tom, the narrator, introduces the play to the audience as a memory play based on his recollection of his mother, Amanda, and his sister, Laura. Amanda is one of Williams’ great creations - a domineering, desperate mother who tries to find her crippled daughter a husband. When Tom brings home Laura’s high school crush, Jim O’Connor, the situation looks promising. But the family’s hopes are dashed when Jim reveals he is already engaged. Laura retreats further into her strange, silent world, her mother despairs and her brother leaves the family home.

The Glass Menagerie deals in family expectations, individual hopes and dreams, and the difficulties of escaping the reality that somebody else has created for you.

Director David Berthold puts his unique stamp on this classic play, dusting away many of its cobwebs and revealing surprising new facets.

tHe Wizard oF oz By Maxine MeLLor & tHe danger enseMBLe director steven MitcHeLL WrigHt

L Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz will be given The Danger Ensemble treatment in 2013. Expect to be surprised and tantalised by a completely new and unique take on the classic tale of a girl who journeys beyond the rainbow to find that everything she dreamed of was always right in front of her. But The Danger Ensemble doesn’t just deal in dreams…or in happy endings.

Acclaimed Brisbane director Steven Mitchell Wright and his formidable team of uber-creatives are set to take us on a trip of a different kind. Renowned for their collaborative, organic methods of devising theatre that throws you off balance, The Danger Ensemble will lead you to a place beyond the rainbow that you and your students have never been before. The Wizard of Oz is a La Boite and Brisbane Festival world premiere event not to be missed.

Just remember, there’s no place like home.

The Danger Ensemble is one of Australia’s most exciting independent theatre outfits, led by the incomparable Steven Mitchell Wright. In this workshop, The Danger Ensemble demonstrate the tools required to energise young theatre makers to make relevant performance pieces and docu-dramas around current events and pop culture. The Danger Ensemble is driven by an insatiable exploration of theatrical form and a steadfast commitment to questioning what theatre is now. This workshop investigates notions of contemporary archetypes (the heroine, the coward, the heartless and the brainless), myth created by and within popular culture (contemporary modes of storytelling tradition) and fame as a mode of escapism.

These curriculum-based workshops are designed and delivered by professional theatre artists and are offered both onsite at your school and here at our theatre. This is a way to get specialist input into your study program. We offer the following workshops but can also design

workshops to suit your needs.

PHysicaL tHeatreThis workshop is particularly useful for students devising group scenes or contemporising heritage texts. It explores basic principles of spatial awareness, viewpoints, locomotion, physical timing, counter balance

and acrobatics as tools for the creation of physical performance. It also explores conventions around storytelling, movement and dance.

BrecHt & PoLiticaL tHeatreWhat were Brecht’s political and artistic ambitions and how do they relate

to his practice? Are they still significant? This workshop explores the impact of Brecht and his style on contemporary theatre and interrogates

common myths about this theatrical pioneer.

PerForMing reaLisMExplore what Stanislavski really mean when he talked about ‘The System’. What is the ‘actor’s preparation’ and how do actors go about ‘creating a character’? What balance is to be found between emotion memory and

technical skill? What are the difference between American Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio ‘method’ and Stanislavski’s ‘system’?

cLoWn & coMedyThis highly participatory workshop will demonstrate to students that the skills behind clowning go far beyond wearing a red nose and big shoes. Learn how comedy and clown can be used to approach serious topics.

Participants will leave this workshop having understood why attention to detail, courage and vulnerability are essential tools for the ideal clown.

23

MusicaL tHeatre Do you have a class full of “GLEEks”? Know all the songs in The Sound of Music or Wicked? This lesson charts the path of musical theatre (and some film) – identifying what makes this genre so successful, universal & beloved. While often considered a fun and frivolous style, workshop participants are reminded that musicals have also tackled social rights

issues like class, race, religious difference and sexual identity.

Writing revieWsEssential for students undertaking responding tasks, spend some time

with a professional live performance reviewer. Gather insider tips on what to look for in a performance and how to write a critical commentary which measures all elements of the show. What do you write when you’ve seen something you hate? How do you remember what you’ve seen without taking notes during the show? This workshop will give participants the

Dos & Don’ts of writing a review.

PuPPet tHeatreThis workshop illustrates the magic and power of puppets on stage –

from shadow puppetry and object manipulation to marionette, Bunraku and the simple hand-puppet. Build your own basic puppets and discover

how to interact with them on stage for maximum effect. Uncover why puppetry strikes a chord for audiences of all ages and glimpse the history

of this marvellous art form.
