Simone O'Brien (2005), East Timor

Simone O'Brien has performed as an acrobat, clown, aerialist, actor, stuntwoman and performance artist for such companies as Circus Oz, Club Swing, Stalker Stilt Theatre, Legs On The Wall, and ABC Kids TV.  O'Brien conducted her residency in East Timor with the performing arts company Bibi Bulak, Dili, where she taught drama, dance, physical theatre and circus skills workshops to young people.  Working closely with the local community O'Brien created a free site-specific physical theatre performance, Ikan Bo'ot at the Arte Moris Free Art School precinct in Dili. The show was an outstanding success with the local community and has since been invited to perform at the 2006 Brave Festival in Poland.
