Xris Reardon, (producer, director, and network co-ordinator) is - normally - based in Melbourne, a queer activist - theatre maker. XRIS has a long history of involvement in using creative methodologies to access embodied knowings as a means of personal, sociopolitical transformation. Her work has been influenced by other individuals who seek to create spaces for the excavation of collective knowings denied in the alienated structures. This desire is fueled by a belief that conflict and struggle is not interminable; even if reproduced and sustained through cultural frames that reinforce and maintain it as absolute. ACTion requires that we publicly push our thinking to the edges, our beliefs, that dis-enable change. Change that can only be brought about when we are willing to stay open to the nuances, to the edges and margins - go beyond what we imagine is possible. Xris with Augusto Boal a in Legislative Theatre, Cops in our Heads, Rainbow of Desire, and The Future we are afraid off. She also trained with David Diamond, whom she co-joked CONSUME, CONSUME, CONSUME with. These tools have been gratefully received, fine tuned by the artistic focus of Brunswick Women’s Theatre, Suzuki Training methods, SITI Theatre Co (Viewpoints training), and nurtured by the approach of River Chandler of TheatreWorks, the heart of Angela de Castro’s vision, as well as the critique of Lisa Ward and others.
