Postcard from Perth

Written By Allison Wyper

Thanks to a grant from the Network of Ensemble Theaters, I spent (nearly) two weeks this summer (that is, winter in the Southern Hemisphere) working with my friend and collaborator of three years, Sam Fox, director of Hydra Poesis in Perth, Western Australia. During my mini-residency at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Arts Studios, Sam and I (who had never met in person) had an opportunity to reflect upon our online collaborative projects (PROMPTER and Sibling Rivers), and think about models for future online and intermedia collaborations. We gave a workshop exploring some of our ideas, and went out into the "urban bush" of the Swan River to film some footage for Sibling Rivers!
