The Art of Work is a Work of Art is a documentary theatre project that explores the ground-breaking activist theatre work and legacy of the co-founders of Vitalstatistix in Yerta Bulti, Port Adelaide. It is in development in 2023, for its premiere in 2024 as part our 40th birthday celebrations.
The project will weave together documentary footage, interviews, archival material, and reinterpretations of key plays from the early years of Vitalstatistix. Both an experimental film and a live art event, this work will examine the evolution of feminist theatre and performance art over forty years.
The Art of Work is supported by Arts SA and Vitalstatistix andwill be developed as part of a residency at Vitals in July 2023.
