Performing Arts - Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
In 2018, FRANK. emerged in the South Australian arts scene. The Director Britt Plummer returned to Adelaide from France where she had been studying theatre over two years with "Master of Clown" Philippe Gaulier. It was an environment where artists from all over the world created work in a melting pot of diversity and cultures. She had a vision of starting a company that would develop and present original work; exploring the human condition with honesty, humour, and heart; where conversations emerge out of the realms of joy and play with the audience. She wanted to nurture the development of young and emerging artists by providing training in specialist skills in devising new work and physical storytelling, and giving work opportunities for performers, collaborators and workshop facilitators. In the past three years FRANK. has presented critically acclaimed theatrical works in Adelaide, Regional SA, Perth, and Edinburgh, received awards, employed emerging artists, mentored artists and made quite an impact in the local sector.FRANK. celebrates spontaneity, complicité and individuality. We believe theatre-makers and performers have a beautiful power to transport our audience and allow them to dream. We want to have tricky conversations in comfortable spaces, where we can laugh, breathe and have a sense of togetherness.We are interested in artistic collaboration, meeting new artists and seeing new faces on stages. We don't only create work but also produce work that inspires us!We are currently based on Kaurna land in the Adelaide Region. But often work nationally and in Europe.We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region on whose lands we live and work. We respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We pay our respects to all Elders past, present and emerging and we acknowledge that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
