1 Liveness in the Digital Age : Performance Case Studies Russell Fewster , Geordie Brookman , Richard Chew , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies , December no. 79 2021; (p. 231-252)
'Theatre is a communal act of anticipation of the sharing of story between performer and audience member. Contemporary performance has a focus on achieving intimacy between the two through spatial and sensory 'closeness'. Artists supply this, aided by live projection, radio microphone technology and multi-layered, ever-present soundscapes to create an immersive experience. Comprehensive technological augmentation of theatre allows for the minutiae of a live performance to be amplified, creating such intimacy.' (Publication abstract)
1 Animal Farm Geordie Brookman , 2019 single work drama

'A blistering new one-man version of George Orwell’s political classic.

'Revolution is coming to Manor Farm. Under the guidance of some rebellious pigs, a group of farm animals unite to drive out their cruel human oppressors and build utopia. But the swine are not as united as they appear and their division gives rise to a terrifying new system of power and repression.

'Written in the 1940s as a response to the rise of authoritarian governments around the world, Animal Farm is a searing examination of extremist rule.

'In his final production as Artistic Director, Geordie Brookman and the mercurial Renato Musolino join forces to create a scintillating take on one of the greatest stories of English literature. A sublime and unadorned piece of theatrical storytelling, Animal Farm will see Musolino inhabit upwards of 20 characters, from the revolutionary pigs to the stoic draft horse and the tyrannical Mr Jones.'
