Margery and Michael Forde
Margery and Michael have each worked in theatre for over forty years as actors and playwrights. Their plays have received Australian Writers Guild Awards and the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Award. The creation of their plays has often involved going into communities, talking to people, and using their actual words to create theatre. This is called verbatim theatre. Their verbatim plays include “Behind the Cane” about the descendants of South Sea Islanders in Bowen brought here to work in the sugar plantations – a shadowy part of our history; “Snapshots from Home” - memories of those on the home front in WW2; and” Way Out West” – stories from Queensland’s heartbreak corner. Their work on verbatim theatre has been the subject of a PhD Thesis by Dr. Brent Downes. For PKN#29 they will be telling you about their play “Cribbie” It’s the story of Brisbane’s vanished suburb Cribb Island - resumed to make way for the new Brisbane Airport in the 1980’s. In a short time they hope to share something of the spirit of the ex-Cribbie residents they talked to – and the transformative effect of verbatim theatre. Cribbie is gone but not forgotten![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type="normal"][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="1995" img_size="medium" alignment="center" style="vc_box_circle" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

Dr. Teressa Schmidt
Just recently being transformed to become Dr. Teressa Schmidt, we've convinced Associate Vice-Chancellor (CQUniversity, Noosa/Sunshine Coast Region) to share her story!Teressa is a small town escapee and long term Sunshine Coast local with a tenure of more than 30 years. She is also a frustrated creative who resisted the call to teach for many years, by taking up various different careers before eventually succumbing to a teaching role at TAFE. Since then, her obsessive personality has turned to investigating teaching and teachers, and tonight’s presentation will celebrate the role of the ‘good teacher’ in transforming the lives and minds of their students.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type="normal"][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="2007" img_size="medium" alignment="center" style="vc_box_circle" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

Mieke Van Den Berg
Mieke is a Dutch-born Australian Visual-Interdisciplinary Artist who has been painting murals for 25 years, and that is the commercial side of her practice. However a huge transformation has taken place over the past three years, as she has moved into disciplines she hadn’t even heard of before. Her focus is connecting art with people and place and is a response to our disconnection from our direct environment, while simultaneously being digitally connected to the entire world. Her work is driven by the process, movement, collaboration, recording of time, and mark making. She has recently completed a Draw to Perform Residency in Brighton UK where another major transformation has taken place. This opportunity allowed her to expand her network of collaborative artists internationally and gain valuable performance and technical skills in this dynamic artistic discipline of drawing performance. Go Mieke!

Nicki and Vicci of Wildlings Forest School
Taking time out from their 'Refinery' incubator process we are looking forward to hearing from Nicki and Vicci of Wildlings Forest School at PKN#29!Nicki Farrell and Vicci Oliver are two high school teachers who became disenfranchised with the education system and decided to take matters into their own hands, The result is Wildlings Forest School, a business that offers a variety of programs where children gather outdoors in nature. They are nature play, free play, risky play and adventure play advocates and protectors of childhood.The pair have been fortunate to win a space at The Refinery, a 10 week creative incubator currently running in partnership with Creative Alliance to work on growing and transforming Wildlings Forest School nationally. The two will be speaking about their transformation from high school teachers to home-school teachers; about how they transformed a free playgroup into a thriving business, which in turn transformed their community and why our education system and views on children need to transform if we want to raise healthy happy children. www.wildlingsforestschool.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type="normal"][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
