Architektin

Synopsis:
At the turn of the 20 century, Vienna was the epicentre of innovation and the crucible of the european avant-garde in the fields of art, literature, music, psychiatry, philosophy and theatre. the city was an extraordinary laboratory simmering with the ideas of pioneers like Freud, Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka, Adolf Loos, Mahler, Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, Karl Kraus, Schnitzler and Wittgenstein. Margrete Schutte Lihotsky has a passion to design and build, but the political change brought about by the rise of Hitler treads heavily on her ambitions and her struggle to keep on building demands

War Inbetween, The

Synopsis:
the workshop will involve the writer (Duncan Graham), director (Joshua Tyler) and the actors (including Rory Walker, Michaela Cantwell and Renato Musolino) in the room together for two weeks. It will be an intensive period of story and character development hand in hand with the early phase of set design. the focus will be on creating a world that can turn inside out such that the ordered veneer is enveloped by darker destructive forces. It proves to be a fortnight of controlled chaos, measured mayhem and detailed diabolism.
