Tomorrow you could be a winner. Delve into a jungle of competition. Undergo stress management workshops, meditation and team building. Sydney’s performance collective Applespiel will help you fire the first shot. As with Snail Piece (Underbelly Arts Festival 2010), Applespiel have matched a playful concept with rigorous thought, meticulous preparation, and professional execution. More please!

We want you to LOVE our music. We want a long and complicated rider, and a pit of screaming groupies outside our hotel. We want to be a mystery. To snort truckloads of cocaine. We want to broadcast ideas and feelings and have other people really listen. We want to be adored, passionately talked and written about. We don’t want to sell out. We want to be beautiful. We want you to go home tonight, lie in your bed, listen to our album and imagine us making sweet and passionate love to you. In Applespiel Make a Band and Take On the Recording Industry this acclaimed collective chronicle the meteoric rise to fame – and inevitable downfall – of an eight-memberstrong indie band. Like a multi-media This is Spinal Tap at 180 decibels, Applespiel documents all the iconic moments in their imaginary band’s biography. Drawing upon long-held fantasies cultivated by the mythologies of popular music, the result is a spellbinding mix of a rock gig and a live ‘rockumentary’. 'Make a Band' has been developed with the support of Performance Space, Bundanon Artists Trust, and the Australia Council for the Arts. First performed at Performance Space, 'Make a Band' was included in the Helium independent theatre season at the Malthouse in 2014. "It’s honest, witty and innovative work from the rising stars of contemporary performance." — The Brag   Image by Lachlan Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5770732220099e977d142dc5/1467003946049-2HMYQ2UEA10LELB7566B/Applespiel.jpg Projects Applespiel construct a (more or less) to scale model of your local area, out of coloured cardboard, paddepop sticks and pipe cleaners. Over several days through surveying the public, Applespiel identify potential eyesores, note down wild architectural fantasies and give serious thought to the color pink. The publics concerns and desires are instantly gratified by the altering of the scale model, creating a collaborative vision for the future of the neighbourhood through a constant evolution. At the end of the process, the result is a neighbourhood designed by locals and visitors expressing their concerns and desires. An ultimate neighbourhood. A Sexy New Neighbourhood. Such miniaturisation is a perfect way to get people thinking about urban planning, spaces for living in or the relationship between geography and community Matthew Clayfield, Realtime Tiny Stadiums Festival, Sydney, February 2010 You Are Here, Canberra, March 2011 Festival of Unpopular Culture, Adelaide, October 2011 Verge Festival, USYD, October 2013 FUNPARK, Sydney Festival, January 2014 Created with support from Quarterbred and PACT Centre for Emerging Artists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5770732220099e977d142dc5/1466989576035-4I53BK7X3R6OXXNYLPSE/26452848946_13ec8a92e0_o.jpg Projects In season April 20-29 2017 at Metro Arts in Brisbane, QLD. Tickets available now. Jarrod Duffy Is Not Dead is a devised work by the performance collective Applespiel. Jarrod Duffy was the ninth member of Applespiel, who studied with the group at the University of Wollongong. In October 2010, two weeks before performing an Honours show, he disappeared, leaving behind the furniture at his house and no explanation. Phone, email and Facebook all yielded no results. Jarrod Duffy Is Not Dead is the story of that disappearance and Applespiel’s hunt to find their missing friend. Created with support from: Vitalstatistix's 'Adhocracy' program HotHouse's 'Month in the Country' residency program First performed as a development with Merrigong Theatre Company in April 2016, as part of the 'Make it @ Merrigong' program.   Image by Jackson Davis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5770732220099e977d142dc5/1763598295473-PFTKLKIPHW63XGRZQCGP/CREDIT+ALEX+DAVIES+8729.jpg Projects Fifteen years ago, a group of Australians made Escape From Woomera: a politically explosive video game that put players in the shoes of a refugee held in immigration detention. Applespiel invite you to play Escape from Woomera in this specially-commissioned live gaming and performance experience. Each night, the artists create a live commentary to accompany the gameplay alongside human rights advocates, refugees and the creators of the original game, exploring the contemporary significance of this cultural intervention. This project was commissioned for Performance Space, Sydney for Liveworks 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5770732220099e977d142dc5/1763598696099-2GX3CYL25YJZBZHGZ0RJ/Sorry132.jpg Projects Sorry Sorry Sorry is a theatre show about apologies. Big apologies, fake apologies, meaningful apologies and rehearsed apologies. Apologies we need to give and apologies we need to hear. With a lot of material to inhabit, you can’t help but ask: if you rehearse an apology and put it in front of an audience, can you still mean it?
