PROJECT: I SCARE MY 6 YEAR OLD SELF

‘My brother sits down with another round. He has bought me a midi of beer. The last time we were all together was Queensland in 1997. We went to Brisbane’s equivalent of Questacon and perhaps for the first time in my life I wished I was in Canberra.’

While sitting next to the hole in the ground (The old Carlton Brewery) that used to be their father’s workplace, two brothers reconsider the unmitigated disaster of recent events. Following the bloodline back through half time soccer oranges, pool ponies and lightsabre broomsticks the questions quickly become more exhilarating than the answers.

Tim Spencer presents a new solo performance about the things family members like to hear one another say. He is a producer, writer, director and performer whose first solo show Words They Make with their Mouths won the BankSA People’s Choice Award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2010.

The Seafarer’s Academy is a very loose collective with a constantly changing membership. It is best described as a halfway house for artists between collectives.  This is the collective’s first adventure together.
