Company information
We tried being reasonable. It didn't work out.

Unreasonable Adults evolved from over a decade of variable independent performance practices, self-instigated collaborations and residencies nationally and internationally - including Safe Chamber, queer non-object oriented radio signal (qnoors), Para//elo [Open Platform], Time_Place_Space laboratories, Other People's Children, Soft Crash, Savage Wit and residencies at Banff Centre, Canada. We have been incredibly busy.

Collectively, and individually, our work has been presented in Australia at such places as Sydney Mardi Gras (cLUB bENT), Art of Dissent (Melbourne Festival), Midsumma (Melbourne), Telstra Adelaide Festival, BEAP 2004 (PICA, Perth), Feast Lesbian and Gay Festival, Adelaide & Melbourne Fringe Festivals, Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Melbourne), Media Resource Centre (Adelaide), Performance Space (Sydney) and in many regional and remote areas. Internationally, ourvarious work/s have been developed, seen and heard in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Holland, France, in several North American cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Washington DC...), in Asia (China, Japan) and in Canada. We continue to forge ties and develop ongoing collaborations with many international collaborators and artists.

Unreasonable Adults : a name that encompasses far more than artistic practice. It speaks of a desire to be sudden, difficult and lost for words in a complex, unstable and deranged contemporary world. This australian ensemble make work and generate ideas for new and varied spaces. Driven by a sense of solidarity in our ensemble, the work is driven by the dedicated collective of artists: working within an international cultural landscape and lineage of makers and thinkers, artists who are drawn to each other from various disciplines and backgrounds. Unreasonable Adults are interested in the way audiences see artists and how artists see audiences. We are a band, traversing and touring through environments, states, countries and contexts.

Collective:
Caroline Daish, Kerrin Rowlands, Martin Potter, Fiona Sprott, Jason Sweeney, Julie Vulcan.
