critics and defenders of Rock Apocalypse
Fri, 18 July 2008, 05:08 pmI am a playwright in search of some drama. Could all those who participated in the forum entitled "Rock Apocalypse - Perth" (started 11 Feb 2008) please contact me either through this site or via email on:
apocalypseperth@yahoo.com.au
Hope to hear from you
Kate
please think about it

I wanted to contact you all individually to describe the project myself, but Garry D's summary of what I am doing is pretty accurate. I am turning the forum into a piece of theatre about the nature of criticism and online communication.
I would like to emphasise that I am offering the opportunity to contribute further. Tell me how you feel about the forum, why you hate it or love it, why you contributed, what you think it means, and I will put your point of view in the show alongside the forum itself. I want to put this debate onstage.
You can remain anonymous or claim credit as you prefer. I am offering a small fee for permission to use any part of your original material.
I agree that the Rock Apocalypse forum was extreme, and could be described as embarrassing. However I do think it's supportive of theatre, because it's passionate, it's thoughtful, it's dramatic, and it's about the relationship between theatre makers and audiences.
Let me know what you think.
