About Black Sequin Productions
‘…as you walk down the street you see the real world but feel aware of an inner world..’
Black Sequin Productions attempt a dialogue with this disjunction. Based on the premise that any ordinary action has extraordinary resonances, our intention is to liberate the audience from the usual constraints of linear time and provoke an imaginative and associative engagement with image, action, text and sound.
Black Sequin Productions seek to challenge conventional theatre forms. We span the disciplines of drama, dance/movement, music/sound and film with a highly creative, core group of award winning artists including:
A.F.I. and A.G.S.C. Award winner Elizabeth Drake and Green Room Award winners Jacqueline Everitt, David Murray, Helen Herbertson and Jenny Kemp. Kemp and Herbertson have also both been recipients of two year Australia Council Fellowships, and Kemp, the Kenneth Myer Medallion for Performing Arts.
Black Sequin Productions have been creating highly acclaimed, ground-breaking performance works for almost two decades, including works for The Melbourne International Arts Festival, Kitten, Adelaide International Festival for the Arts, The Black Sequin Dress, and The Spoleto Festival (now Melbourne International Festival for the Arts) The Call of the Wild. And Still Angela toured nationally with Performing Lines and MOBILE STATES.
All the performance texts have all been published and the videos and a documentary of Black Sequin Productions have been released through Contemporary Arts Media.
