One is an exploration of what it means to be alone.
Sometimes One is too many. Sometimes One is not enough.
One is the sum of all parts.
Artistic Director of Tutti, Pat Rix says, “One has been developed over several years with Daisy Brown and is a quirky and quizzical culmination of each performers’ cost benefit analysis of living alone. We are absolutely thrilled to be sharing One with an audience at last.”
On the 27th of May Tutti and the Mental Health Coalition of SA will present a forum and open panel discussion on Social Isolation and the performance ‘One’ with speaker and facilitator Geoff Harris, speaker Professor Leon Earle, Artistic Director Pat Rix and the panel of performers which includes: Joel Hartgen, Trish Ferguson, Jane Hewitt, Alistair Brasted and Jackie Saunders.
Discussions will range over the services available for support and pathways of support for those with a dual disability or issues of being isolated and consider the emotional and physical impact of feeling and living alone.

“Who can you turn to in times of need?’

The Adelaide Festival presents Australia’s leading disability theatre company, Back to Back Theatre and its production of FOOD COURT.
Back to Back Theatre is one of Australia’s leading contemporary theatre companies with an outstanding international reputation. Based in Geelong, Victoria, the multi-award winning company has toured performances to over 40 prestigious festivals and venues around the world.
Back to Back is driven by an ensemble of seven actors perceived to have intellectual disabilities and is uniquely placed to comment on the social, cultural, ethical and value-based structures that define the institution known as the ‘majority’. The ensemble create all of their own work through a process of research, improvisation and scripting in collaboration with the Artistic Director, Bruce Gladwin and guest artists.
Back to Back Theatre’s newest work FOOD COURT premiered in October 2008 as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival to sold out audiences and much critical acclaim.
Following presentations of FOOD COURT at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels and the Sydney Opera House in 2009, Adelaide Festival presents four shows only!
Set in the lush minimalism of an illuminated white void, a young woman is utterly victimised. Two actresses in gold leotards frolic across the stage and, with immense pleasure, abandon themselves to the humiliation of a third woman. A situation of merciless cruelty emerges, from which a fragile and moving beauty wells up.
Accompanied by a trance-like live improvisation by Sydney cult jazz trio, The Necks, FOOD COURT is visually and musically virtuosic, and at the same time takes us back to the essence of theatre.
The Adelaide Festival would like to offer friends of your organisation $35 tickets. To book tickets call BASS 131 246 or visit a BASS outlet and quote ‘The Necks’.
