Live Recording of Episode Two of the Dr Rob Vs podcast.The Doctor of the disordered stage is back
In this second episode of Dr Rob Vs, Dr Rob tells the story of government funding for the performing arts, deconstructs a post apocalyptic play from the 1950s and reflects on two more months in the industry.
Jokes, songs and cultural analysis.
A new podcast about Australian Theatre recorded live in front of a foyer/cafe audience.
First it was the budget of the Australia council. Then it was the review pages in newspapers. Then it was tertiary education. Then it was small to medium sized companies. Then venues. Now it’s the national administrative structures. What’s it gonna take? The system we know as Australian theatre is in collapse. What has to happen before everyone else can see it. No more Malthouse? No More QTC? STC?
Each episode Dr Rob takes a different play from the Australian canon and turns it inside out with storytelling, critical analysis and popular songs. Presented in a casual cabaret lecture style, these one-off performances introduce audiences to forgotten or never heard of Australian plays, considers the state of contemporary Australian theatre and tells the story of the arts and being an artist in Australia. Just Dr Rob, a guitar and a powerpoint presentation. Come get your heart broken.
Every two months throughout the year Dr Rob will record a new episode, exploring new aspects of Australian theatre, the stories, the people, the plays, the day to day realities, its history and its future.
