Peter Trotman, Tony Osborne and Andrew Morrish, each have at least a 40-year engagement with performing improvisation. They started performing together at Performance Space, Sydney in 2002, in evenings of extended solo improvisation.
Each have a unique blend of movement and language, with their long-standing joint practice emphasising their differences rather than homogenising them, but they still share the ethos introduced to them by Al Wunder’s “Theatre of the Ordinary” in the early 1980’s.
For over 20 years that have been curating and running “Precipice” a national, improvisation workshop festival in Canberra, at Gorman House.
Tony has been based in Sydney for the last 25 years, Peter in Melbourne, and Andrew now in East Gippsland after 20 years primarily based in Europe.
In the last 5 years they have overcome their geographic separation by regular, on-line solo sharing. They endeavour to meet in the flesh a few times a year to practice and perform, but now feel an urgent need to increase their real-time meeting and performance schedules.
They represent a formidable base of improvisational performing and sustained development through practice.
Now in their 60’s and 70’s they know how to deliver, whilst maintaining their belief in the richness and open-ness of their forms.
They are among the last members of a unique generation, excited to share their work and leave a lasting legacy in the next few years.
