Momentous Event
Options Theatre Company was invited to participate in the Australian National Museum’s MOMENTOUS Exhibition for International Day of People with Disability.
The MOMENTOUS Exhibition focuses on the impact of the bushfires and the lockdowns from the perspective of people with disabilities.
The film was Directed by Artistic Director, Stuart Smith who worked with the Options Theatre Company Crew to film, edit and produce a stunning short film titled, ‘REMOTE’.
The video is an artistic depiction of life in lockdown from the perspective of our very own star, Nathan Parker. Tanya Thurlby is also featured as the Auslan interpreter.
A remote control becomes Nathan’s only companion in his current stop/start world.
The inclusive ensemble of creatives at Options Theatre Company reflect on finding hope in this uncertain time.
“Really enjoyed it – lots of cool ideas.
Great job!
Thanks”Peter
