Fiona Sprott is enrolled in the Master of Creative Arts, at University of Technology, Sydney where she is researching and writing a new work Single Girls and Serial Killers: sex, slaughter and the city. Her latest monologue-cabaret show, Easy Ryder was premiered as part of the program of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival 2005 in the new venue, the JB Room. This continues a tradition of darkly comic approaches to issues of female sexuality and gender roles, specifically as it relates to romantic myths and fictions. themes of violence, desire, grief, unstable emotions, chaos, and life on the 'fringe' of Normal attract her. In 2003 drowning in my ocean of You was premiered in October at the Queen's Theatre in Adelaide, as a feature project supported by the STCSA Theatre Laboratory project, and sponsored by the Dramatic Women. Her company Savage Wit Productions have toured Often I find that I am naked and Partly it's about love, partly it's about massacre (monologues featuring character Jezebel) nationally.

Drowning in My Ocean of You

Synopsis:
When two people meet and their worlds begin to merge it is not easy to learn how to swim in an ocean of colliding realities, memories, hard truths and desires. Thankfully there is help-a waiter, a touch and a glimpse of something like love begins to emerge from the swirling undercurrents between these two beautiful, damaged and enigmatic beings.

If Not For You Then Who

Synopsis:
Throughout 2008, Fiona Sprott and Jason Sweeney are creating a series of explicit confessional texts, micro-films, blog entries and sonic responses that expose the artists' failures at intimacies, confronting moments of fear, sacrifice, desire and pain - constructed or otherwise. In this in-progress live performance 'report' and screening, some dangerous admissions will emerge and the line between private versus public information will be crossed...

Last to See Them Alive, The

Synopsis:
Tag-lined 'How Do You Meet Mr. Right In An Age of Serial Killers?', 'The Last to See Them Alive' is an essay of sorts, testing our appetite for sex-crime fictions of the sort served up nightly on our television screens in endless seasons (or so it seems) of CSI and SVU.
