Cutaway - a portrait
Presented by Vitalstatistix
Vitalstatistix is seeking volunteers to act as audio interviewers for our documentary theatre project, Cutaway – a portrait. Our team of interviewers will attend a 2-day training workshop with director Roslyn Oades, after which they will conduct audio interviews with other Port Adelaide community members between May – June 2012. These interviews will provide the source material for an exciting new headphone-verbatim theatre work to be presented in December 2012.
Cutaway – a portrait, is the 2012 component of Vitals’ three-year project about our home Waterside Workers Hall. Cutaway is about revealing the extraordinary and ordinary memories that inhabit Waterside, through contemporary works of art and performance in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
What this commitment will involve:
The Cutaway team’s commitment to you:
So if you have a keen interest in the truly extra and ordinary people of the Port, and you are interested in collaborating with a fantastic team of artists, then please get in contact with us.

Please include a few brief paragraphs about who you are and why you are interested in being a part of Cutaway – a portrait. Please also include a contact phone number in your email.
This team will end up interviewing up to 40 community members, so even if you don’t think you can be an interviewer in the story-making team, you may like to put yourself forward to be interviewed – or have suggestions as to other people who would make great interview subjects. We are very happy to receive your ideas now.

Parachutes for Ladies: artists-in-residence
Presented by
Vitalstatistix in association with Parachutes for Ladies for Adhocracy 2012
Applications for this opportunity have now closed.
The selected artists will collaborate with Jess Olivieri and Hayley Forward with the Parachutes for Ladies throughout a two-week creative development at Vitals (Waterside, Port Adelaide) to make a new work called Dance Hall.
The work-in-progress will then be shown as part of Adhocracy 2012, our annual artist hothouse held over the June long weekend.
You could be a theatre-maker, visual artist, dancer, designer, performer, composer, or interdisciplinary artist…
You will be interested in reimagining public space and history, live art, collaboration and making the most of a unique creative opportunity.
Who are Jess Olivieri & Hayley Forward with the Parachutes for Ladies? Jess Olivieri and Hayley Forward have an expanded practice of visually stunning projects that encompass video, sound installation, contemporary dance, performance and photography. The work is research-led, subtly referencing historical events to create large and small-scale projects for galleries, theatres and festivals.
Jess and Hayley utilise a framework whereby they identify and collaborate with an often transient, site-specific community, who join them under the umbrella of Parachutes for Ladies. Recent projects include a collaboration with gallery attendants at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney as part of Primavera and a collaboration with Berlin based contemporary dancer Jochen Roller for the annual dance program at Campbelltown Arts Centre. In April this year they will be collaborating with the whole staff at Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane to make a work for the up coming exhibition Contemporary Australia: Women. Check them out further at www.parachutesforladies.com.
What are the Ladies doing in South Australia?Each year Vitalstatistix hosts a residency with a non-South Australian interdisciplinary or live art collective, and invites ten SA artists to collaborate with our guests. Together they make a new work-in-progress, for presentation at Adhocracy, our annual artist hothouse. Last year, WA-based pvi collective worked with local artists to make and present transumer: deviate from the norm. This year, Vitals have commissioned Jess Olivieri and Hayley Forward with the Parachutes for Ladies to make Dance Hall.
Dance Hall is a site-specific, residency-made work about dance and dance hall culture. Dance halls evoke a momentary suspension of disbelief and escape from the mundane. The dance hall was arguably the first site for participatory performance. Participating artists will join the Parachutes for Ladies circle for this time and this work. They will make Dance Hall on site at Waterside, building out from a structure for the work provided by residency leaders Jess Olivieri and Hayley Forward.
To take part, you must be available for these dates: Monday 28th May to Monday 11th June inclusive. Please read the attached info for all the details & how to apply.
Oh, one last thing – you DO NOT need to be either a Lady or a Dancer, to apply for this opportunity! All professional artists (established and emerging) welcome.
Adhocracy applications are still open! For more info, including artist opportunities,
