SLAM NOIR SLAM NOIR The inaugural Australian puppet slam - Slam Noir - is co-produced by Black Hole Theatre and Lana Schwarcz. Supported by UNIMA Australia and hosted by St Ali's Cafe, the puppet slam will feature short adult performances by puppeteers from Australia and overseas. The lineup includes: Stéphane Georis, Megan Cameron, Amanda Maddock, Lynne Kent, Hamish Fletcher, Jeff Achtem, Rod Primrose, Lana Schwarcz, Mike Bevitt, Jacob Williams, Penelope Bartlau, Leah Scholes, and Dan Goronszy. With shadow, hand, object and rod puppetry, lit only by handheld torches, the performances will unfold across the table tops, window frames and ceilings of the funky St Ali's Cafe in South Melbourne. They'll be funny, provocative, beautiful and satirical. There will be live music from Derek Rowe and his band, food and drink from the cafe, and tickets are a mere $10 at the door! WHEN: Sat., Nov. 12, 7:30pm VENUE: St. Ali's Cafe, 12-18 Yarra Pl, South Melbourne (between Coventry and York Streets). 7:30. Bring a torch and light up your night!
In supporting this project, UNIMA concurs with the producers' aims: 1)to reveal to the public the diversity and depth of the adult puppetry art form, and 2) to offer the artists a supportive opportunity to experiment with new ideas. Two more slams are planned for outer Melbourne and regional Victoria in 2012, and the producers will pursue potential slams interstate. The producers propose that these events be presented in nontraditional spaces (such as cafes and pubs) where the environment allows for more experimentation, and sets up a responsive, dynamic relationship with the audience. The performers may improvise, present a fragment of a developing work or try a form they've never used before. Each slam will be defined by different parameters - ie the works will be in response to a certain body of music, an event, or utilize particular imagery. The artists will be encouraged to move out of their comfort zones. The producers have joined the Puppet Slam Network in the US, opening up networking and support opportunities for Australian artists.
