Day 2 in Brisbane - 'The Woman who Dreamt of an Afterlife'

The Woman Who Dreamt of an Afterlife, by Flloyd Kennedy with participation of Vanja Matula, is an intertextual work, in which Kennedy, as lecturer June Bloom addressing an audience, is interrupted by the intruding voices of the Shakespearean characters that popular her world, and a young male interlocutor that seems to waver in June’s mind between son, student and Shakespearean character.

The feedback session, facilitated by Gillian Kehoul, was structured around three central questions – what was challenging? what was provoking? what was interesting?, which Flloyd felt would best assist her in further developing the performance. Flloyd was particularly interested in the spectator’s response to this piece as a reflection on the nature, and complications, and ambiguities, of performing a role.
