HeSheIt

HeSheIt is my own multimedia theatre production supported by Monash Student Theatre. In 1993 I took an inherited collection of short comedies from the 1900’s and ‘rewrote’ their meaning by presenting them in an experimental performance. The set was specially designed with UV lights and a television, and was all white to assist the slide projections on the walls and actors. The actors were Christian Leavesley, Vivienne Walshe, Melanie Field and Keira Lyons. The production explored issues of gender, androgeny and identity by altering the gender of the characters.
