ORLANDO

By RACHEL LEWINDON and WILLOW SIZER

June 14th - July 14th 2021

Antipodes Theatre Company will support writing team Willow Sizer and Rachel Lewindon through the development of their collaborative music theatre piece Orlando, an adaptation of the novel by Virginia Woolf.

The Company will explore an innovative and inclusive music theatre method. Their approach actively questions the traditions, storylines, stereotypes and creative methods established within the entertainment industry. Through experimentation, improvisation, and collaboration between cast, composer, writer and director, they hope to develop a robust yet flexible template for future music theatre creators.

This project was previously developed as part of Antipodes Theatre Company's inaugural 2020 Winter Lab.

Abbotsford Convent’s Pivot is a short-term residency program supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria. From May – September 2021, the Convent will be offering artists money, space, time and support for their practice as well as access to audience insight and a professional research team from Patternmakers.
