Brink Productions is an Australian theatre company based in Adelaide, South Australia, specialising in the ensemble-development of new writing.

History

[edit]

Brink was established in 1996 as a collective of seven actors, primarily graduates from the drama school of Flinders University,[1] in order to "improve artistic production" in Australian theatre.[2] Brink's founding members were Michaela Cantwell, Michaela Coventry, Lizzy Falkland, Victoria Hill, Richard Kelly, David Mealor, John Molloy and Paul Moore, joined soon after by director Benedict Andrews. Director Chris Drummond was appointed artistic director in 2004.[3]

One of Brink's most successful collaborations was When The Rain Stops Falling,[4] written by Andrew Bovell with designs by visual artist Hossein Valamanesh and music by Quentin Grant. During 2008-2010 the Brink cast performed the play to over 60,000 people in Adelaide (2008, 2010), Sydney Theatre Company (2009), Melbourne Theatre Company (2009), Queensland Theatre Company (2010), Canberra Theatre Centre (2010) and the Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs (2010).[5][6][7][8] The script has been performed all over the world including seasons at the Almeida Theatre in London[9] and the Lincoln Center in New York City.

In 2016–17, Brink worked in association with Far & Away Productions to produce Ancient Rain,[10] created with songwriter Paul Kelly, singer Camille O'Sullivan and musician Feargal Murray. The theatrical song cycle featured the poems of Seamus Heaney, James Joyce, Patrick Kavanagh, Paula Meehan, Padraic Pearse and W. B. Yeats and was presented at the 2016 Dublin Theatre Festival, 2016 Melbourne Festival, Canberra Theatre Centre, Merrigoing Theatre, 2017 Dark Mofo, QPAC and the 2017 Adelaide Cabaret Festival.[11][12][13][14]

In 2018, Brink premiered Memorial at the 2018 Adelaide Festival, before touring it to the 2018 Brisbane Festival and the Barbican Centre.[15][16][17] Memorial was a stage adaptation of Alice Oswald's Memorial: An Excavation of the Iliad,[18] with music by Jocelyn Pook. Staged as a theatrical soliloquy performed by Helen Morse, it featured 200 chorus members [citation needed]

In 2018, the also company toured The Aspirations of Daise Morrow[19] to Canberra Theatre Centre, Merrigong Theatre, the 2018 Galway Festival and the Assembly Rooms at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe.[20][21][22] The Aspirations of Daise Morrow is Brink's adaptation of Patrick White's short story Down at the Dump, from The Burnt Ones.[citation needed]

Brink has worked with a broad array of artists, including Benedict Andrews, Howard Barker, Paul Blackwell, Andrew Bovell, Kate Box, Geordie Brookman, Paul Capsis, Geoff Cobham, Robert Cousins, Cameron Goodall, Lenny Grigoryan, and Slava Grigoryan.[citation needed]

People

[edit]

Chris Drummond was artistic director of the company from 2004 until the end of July 2023, when he stepped down. He continued to work part-time on several projects during the recruitment process for a new AD.[23] In November 2023, Stephen Nicolazzo, who had been working in theatre in Melbourne, was appointed, undertaking part-time work before coming on board full-time in April 2024.[24]
