1 2 The House Of Dreaming Halcyon Macleod , 2012 single work drama children's 'Littered with the exotic bric-a-brac of its former occupants, the slumbering house dreams wistfully of its past, evoking memories in each room and with each object. The House of Dreaming comprises of nine interconnected chambers, and its story is told through an innovative combination of robotics, performers and projections.'

1 6 Posts in the Paddock Clare Britton , Halcyon Macleod , 2011 single work drama

'One hundred and eleven years ago, relatives of My Darling Patricia's Clare Britton were murdered by an Aboriginal Bushranger, Jimmy Governor, on a property in the Hunter Valley. Taking its name from the ruins of the house where Clare's relatives died, Posts in the Paddock is a major new performance and installation.

'Posts in the Paddock sees My Darling Patricia collaborate with Indigenous actor Leroy Parsons, who discovered while developing this work that he is Jimmy Governor's, great-great-grandson; and elder Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor also shares a family connection to the Governors. The work also features an installation by acclaimed visual artist Fiona Foley. Combining sculpture, animation, puppetry, performance and oral histories, Posts in the Paddock is a powerfully immersive experience.'
