1 Slow Burn Deborah Pollard , 2022 single work drama

'Every year more and more people experience the impacts of bushfire devastation.

'This is the story of one such family who lost their home during the 2003 Canberra bushfires. Nineteen years on they still remember, they can’t forget, but they can carry on. With wry wit, compelling storytelling and song, Deborah Pollard conjures into being a theatrical portrait of the very human face of climate change catastrophe.

'This new work tracks the silent legacy of extreme weather events long after the news crews have moved on. Part stand-up, part home movie night, part gritty realism, this dynamic one-woman show presents an hour of intimate, raw and bitingly honest performance.'

1 2 Blue Print Deborah Pollard , 2007 single work drama

''Blue Print' is a performance work that captures the humour and bewilderment of a family whose world lurched from the ordinary to the unimaginable in an afternoon. Exploring the way we grieve, Deborah Pollard reflects on the loss of her family home-an intensely personal experience, and one that is becoming more and more familiar each summer.'
