This week Bronte Charlotte chats with Declan Furber Gillick, an Arrernte man from Central Australia. His practice spans writing, theatre, music, film, poetry, rap, community education, and mentoring. Declan was a writer-in-residence as part of the Melbourne Theatre Company's Next Stage Writers Program, and is the writer, producer and actor behind the Green Room Award winning production Bighouse Dreaming. We have a conversation about Declans journey into the arts, and how important collaboration and solidarity is for communal growth and connection. We dive into Declans varied writing and performance experiences, the success of Bighouse Dreaming, his new piece coming out at the MTC, his passion for rap and poetry getting him through Melbournes extended lockdown, and how deeply connected you can feel to people just by sharing and being vulnerable.
During this episode we discuss:
