A Conversation with Fizzy Rascals about their experiences working In THE DPS LAB
by Virag Dombay - October 29, 2020
Next up on my local artists segment I will be interviewing three independent theatre companies and collectives who have been working with Dead Puppet Society on professional developments as a part a professional development program called THE DPS Lab. First up was the Naughty Corner Collective and next up are the Fizzy Rascals, a group of experimental theatre makers interested in pushing the boundaries of form and visual aesthetic. Their core team consists of four members: Jennifer Bagg, Fiona MacDonald, Mark McDonald and Linnea Tengroth. Working collaboratively to devise works with a focus on movement and striking images, we believe in striving for a universal language in storytelling. Our works are handmade with vigour and passion, accumulating skills with each new process and striving for big images. We bring expertise in areas such as devising, physical theatre, acting and directing. Currently we are pursuing an interdisciplinary practice, exploring ways of incorporating the language of film, puppetry and dance into live performance. Here's what they had to say...
A Conversation with the Naughty Corner Collective about their experiences working in THE DPS LAB
by Virag Dombay - October 26, 2020
Next up on our local artists segment is the Naughty Corner Collective. The Naughty Corner is a Brisbane based theatre collective founded in 2017 by local creatives Bianca Bality, Jess Bunz, Claire McFadyen and Joe Wilson that is dedicated to creating independent contemporary works that are visceral, provocative and which explore the intricacies of human relationships, and the choices and situations that connect and bind our communities. Through heightened design elements and investigative storytelling, The Naughty Corner explores what it is to be human through works that uncover the underbelly of the ordinary. I was very fortunate to be able to sit down with them and have a chat about their creative journey with the DPS Academy, a professional development opportunity for emerging artists working in the form of visual theatre.
