  9. DEBORAH POLLARDHTTP://WEB.ME.COM/DEBORAHPOLLARD/SITE/DEBORAH_POLLARD_2.HTML • Deborah Pollard is a performer, artist and directorwhose work focuses on collaborations with a varietyof arts and non-arts practitioners. Trained originally in theatre as a performer and director, her practice has shifted over the last 15 years towards a hybrid between performance and visual arts.  • She received the Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship in 2000 and was awarded the Rex Cramphorn Scholarship in 2001. She was awarded a New Media Arts Board Fellowship from the Australia Council in 2002/3. These fellowships have enabled Pollard to integrate lengthy periods of research and development with her practice. During the course of her Fellowships, Pollard engaged in a program of hybrid arts research that has become part of her vocabulary as a performance-based artist. Pollard collaborates with artists and non-arts practitioners who place her own practice into a different context. Collaboration has shifted Pollards work away from the usual use of language within narrative structures towards work that is read through semiotics driven by cross-artform experimentation. As a contemporary performance practitioner she pursues collaborations that disrupt and challenge her notions of performance, theatre and artistic process. • Deborah also works as a freelance director, dramaturge and performer. She has worked extensively with Urban Theatre Projects, Performance Space and Version 1.0

  13. PERTH INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVALFOR MORE INFORMATION: PERTHFESTIVAL.COM.AU • Perth International Arts Festival will be an explosion of energy, filling venues from concert halls and theatres to disused buildings and parks. It will inspire and engage the largest possible proportion of the community; from satisfying existing audiences with world-class artists and repertoire to engaging those who do not traditionally engage with arts festivals, using accessible programming and participation. A program of international and regional artistic exchanges will nurture the arts roots of the region whilst the annual Festival will draw the arts world's greatest talent. • We will commission and program world class artists to present contemporary work of the highest quality. International artists will see it as the place to create their best work and emerging artists will be enriched by their connection with it. • We will bring to Perth the art of the unexpected, disrupting the city, using temporary transformation to bring about permanent change, and allowing us to see our surroundings and lives with fresh clarity. • We will unlock the contemporary and traditional stories and the talent of Western Australia. Artistic exchanges, international and regional commissioning, workshops will strengthen the arts sector of the region and so raise the global profile of Western Australia. • We will involve the people of Perth and beyond as active collaborators in the Festival in order to influence, shape and create irresistible events. We will continue to use free work and innovative ticket pricing to remove financial barriers, we will use digital work to remove time barriers and work in public spaces will remove the physical barriers. • Through these strands of work we will make the Perth International Arts Festival an international event for absolutely everyone in celebration of its position as the longest running arts festival in Australia and its location in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

  14. Student Initiative/Vital Stages • Vital Stages is a branch of the Festival that has been established to entice you – as a local practising artist or aspiring arts student to engage more deeply in what we do both at Festival time and throughout the year.
