I passionately believe that all students present an educator with a unique challenge: to discover the elusive hidden pathway that will encourage and motivate that particular individual to exceed their own expectations.

Diving Horses (2015) was created by second year students studying IMAGE. SITE. PERFORMANCE. at Deakin University’s School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA) to bring to life the ghosts of a bygone era through visual installation and performance. Audience were invited to enter backstage and interact with the working life behind the spectacle and explore the untold stories and private moments behind the scenes of
Wirth’s Circus- ‘the greatest show on earth’.
Students were asked to respond to the rich history of the Arts Centre Melbourne site and undertake research into the lives of the workers that inhabited the site from 1907 until the Wirth’s buildings were destroyed by fire in 1953. Some of the characters encountered were based on actual historical figures and others were drawn from archetypical sources as the students explored the fascinating backstage world of Australian circus life.

Stories from the River was a visual investigation into the forgotten history of the Yarra River presented by students studying IMAGE. SITE. PERFORMANCE at Deakin University’s School of Communication and Creative Arts.
They dredged from the river, forgotten objects…and every object had a story to tell. On the main lawns of Arts Centre Melbourne, the objects were placed as symbols of remembrance to the mysterious and intriguing history of the River. Deakin University warmly thanks the creative team at Arts Centre Melbourne for their generous support of this event. We show our respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, of elders past and present, upon which this event took place. |
