Major projects conducted through the School of Communication:
The Batavia research project explored the wreck of the Dutch ship 'Batavia' in 1629, off the coast of Western Australia. This project was undertaken by Associate Professor John Carroll, in conjunction with Mr David Cameron, both of whom are esteemed academics from the School of Communication.
Devising Celebration is the result of a teacher development program for teachers of Drama K-12, and was established as a collaborative project between the NSW Department of Education and Training and Charles Sturt University.
A case study of this project was conducted, and it focused on the artistic direction of a five-day workshop, held at the Bathurst showground. The site-specific theatre was led by John Fox and Sue Gill, both of whom were founders of Welfare State International.
A Devising Celebration mini -site was also established as a practical resource for drama teachers wishing to devise their own celebratory performances and event theatre.
This is a case study which examines the process of creating street theatre and street parades for the car races held in Bathurst over the October long weekend. It spans the seven year period, between 1989 - 1996.
