Minimal Gear, Maximum MessageHow can we make the most with minimal equipment? As the revolutions shaping the world are showing us, everyone is witness to what’s happening and almost everyone has some way of recording it (iPhones, iPads). How do we ‘crowd source’ our intelligence and make it a more potent force that can effect change. Glenn Fraser from the Australian Film TV and Radio School has been a pioneer in interactive theatre in Australia through his multi-award winning short films (Sydney Film Festival, Tropfest, Sundance and Edinburgh). He has written and directed documentaries, educational programs, fantasy, and children’s programs overseas and in Australia. |

Glenn is a pioneer in interactive theatre in Australia through his multi-award winning short films (Sydney Film Festival, Tropfest, Sundance and Edinburgh).
