Robin Davidson,
Theatre Maker
Last updated June 2008
I’m a director, performer, writer and teacher of theatre and performance. I work mostly in Commedia dell’Arte, clown, playback theatre, forum theatre, poetry and community theatre.
I’m from Canberra and have mostly worked in Canberra, but am living on the road, and making work where ever I can.
This web-site is a showcase of some of the work that I have done, with links to sites of friends and colleagues.
These are the pages on this site:
Alarm! Harelquin meets Haneef, a new contemporary Commedia show opening soon at the Melbourne Fringe Festival
Anatomy of Discourse is a solo show I wrote and perform, available for bookings.
Attack of the Food Bullies is an award-winning show for primary schools that I directed in 2000 and am hoping to remount during 2008.
The East Timor page contains information about Loke Kurtina, a theatre retreat in East Timor that I taught at in 2005.
Hidden Corners Theatre is a community theatre company for young carers (young people who have a family member with a disability) that I founded and directed for five years.
Playback Theatre is a form of improvised theatre where audience members tell moments or stories from their lives and actors and musicians improvise the story back on the spot.
Poetry is a page with some of my poems and details on my two volumes of poetry.
Roaming Entertainment contains images of the work I have done as a stilt-walker and roaming performer.
Troupe Dart was a Canberra-based contemporary Commedia dell’Arte company that I founded in 2001 and performed together until 2006 when the troupe disbanded. This page contains information and photos from our three shows.
Other recent projects contains information about three of the projects I did in 2007: Imperfectly Sane, a project I directed with The Mental Health Foundation of the ACT, The Trial of John Winston Howard, a Melbourne show I had a cameo appearance in, and The Atomic Cheese Conspiracy, a Commedia show that I directed in Bega, and Parts per Million, a forum theatre project on climate change.
Imperfectly Sane Too contains photos from a community theatre project with the Mental Health Foundation of the ACT May 22-24 2008.
