Wherefore art thou theatre?

I reviewed shows, and did a video report on this, I tried to convert the video report into a text piece. In JOUR1111 lectures, Bruce would talk about how journalists were required to produce the same story in different formats, so I gave it a go.

Remove the stage, take down the lights, turn off the microphone. Theatre is moving out of the traditional theatre space and transforming the most innocuous places into 5-star theatre experiences.
The Anywhere Theatre Festival enters its second year, priding itself on encouraging and promoting theatre that extends past the walls of a traditional theatre and operates in non-conventional spaces. From parks, to bedrooms and even mobile phones, this festival is a theatre experience like no other.
Paul Adams, artistic director of Small Crown Productions sums up the intentions of the festival, "it's showing that theatre can happen every day in every place and if you look for it you'll find it ... [this concept can] break audience's minds out of that habitual thought of what theatre is."
From the 10-19 of May, Brisbane is taken over by theatre of all kinds, found in every nook and cranny Brisbane has to offer. "[Audiences] see parts of Brisbane that they normally wouldn't, and experience them in a way they wouldn't either," says Sandra Carluccio the creative director behind This is Kansas City (a site specific work in the festival).
The use of these unconventional spaces relinquishes the limitations of the stage, but also provides a more financially viable performance for emerging actors and directors. The Oxford Girl Theatre Project Ensemble is a group of drama, film and music students, collaborating together to produce The Oxford Girl. "We're only students," laughs Hannah Farrelly, member of The Oxford Girl Theatre Project Ensemble, "there's only so much we can afford."
Young and undiscovered talent have the opportunity to showcase their creative work to audiences and members of the industry, all of which would not be possible without the Anywhere Theatre Festival. Mr Adams is one such playwright who has found the festival a platform to launch from, providing his project with connections, support, marketing that would not be possible elsewhere.
This festival is only in it's early stages and continues to grow, with the number of performances and theatre companies involved rapidly increase each year. Directors and playwrights are looking beyond the four walls of a traditional theatre as audiences witness what is the forefront of future theatre.

"Why build a set when you've got all this to work with?"
