PRODUCTIONS
Roslyn’s work utilises an unusual performance technique she refers to as audio-scripting or headphone verbatim. Audio-scripting is a paperless form of theatre featuring the faithful reproduction of speech patterns and field recordings. The technique requires actors to wear headphones throughout the performance, via which they are fed a carefully edited audio-script constructed entirely from documentary interview and sound recordings. Roslyn is currently in the research & development phase of a new work titled, I’m Your Man. This project is being kindly funded by Company B’s B Sharp creative development program and its partnership with the Macquarie Group Foundation; the Australian Government through the Australian Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body; BYDS, Bankstown City Council and Playwriting Australia. + Press / Reviews + Read more about audio-scripting & the artistic team Technique.htmlPress.htmlTechnique.htmlTechnique.htmlshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2shapeimage_4_link_3

Roslyn is available for artist talks / presentations on her productions and the particular strategies she employs in her creative process. In 2009 she was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney to devise a presentation on Stories of Love & Hate. The result was an engaging part lecture / part performance (in collaboration with 3 cast members) that has gone on to generate a life of its own, receiving invitations for repeat presentations at a variety of festivals, conferences, universities and theatres around Australia.
