Programs Projects and Partnerships - Award Winner Division C
The Riot Act - a new Australian theatre work devised and directed by Karen Therese and produced and presented by Campbelltown Arts Centre. The Riot Act that investigated forces and opinions that shaped communities experiencing social unrest. Originally inspired by newspaper headlines that followed three highly publicised riots in NSW in Bidwell, Redfern and Macquarie Fields, The Riot Act was a poetic investigation into the ecology of community unrest that observed how the media represented communities under fire. Using media technologies, physical performance and storytelling The Riot Act was a compelling study of stark, oppressive landscapes and communities under fire.
