The Recruiting Officer was based on George Farquhar's own recruiting
experiences in Litchfield and Shrewsbury as a Lieutenant of Grenadiers
in 1704. The comedy is a mixture of pastoral romp, amorous intrigue,
indictment of recruiting methods and satire on the officer class.

During the spring Dance Troupe concert, Teresa Heiland will be implementing
collaboration between the arts using interactive computer technology
called "Very Nervous Software," developed especially for theatrical,
dance, and music collaborations in which artists of various disciplines
structure, choreograph, compose, design, and activate a space using
sensors which can play music off of dancers' bodies, lights off of sound
pitches, or mark zones in space which actors stimulate as they talk
or move. The options are endless due to hardware and software designed
just for the purpose. This project will be one work presented in the
spring dance concert.

In June of 1789, a marine lieutenant decides to celebrate the King's
birthday by putting on a play - the first ever produced in Australia.
The cast consists of convicts saved from the gallows and jails of England,
few of whom can read, much less act. The play is being produced against
a background of food shortages and barbaric punishments which are brilliantly
juxtaposed against the civilizing influence of theatrical endeavor.
It is a true story.
