Phillipines
Paschal Berry (2005), Phillipines
Paschal Daantos Berry is a writer and dramaturg for theatre and dance. He is interested in creating hybrid theatre through collaboration with artists from different art forms. At the time of his residency he was based in Canberra where he worked with choreographers and dancers through The Australian Choreographic Centre and its Quantum Leap Youth Choreographic Ensemble. He developed his new work The Folding Wife whilst in the Philippines working with Anino Shadowplay Collective in Manila. Through the time he spent with the collective and their wide network of theatre and visual arts practitioners, Berry was able to understand the immense impact that the arts have on disadvantaged sectors and communities.
