THE OLD DOLPHIN DECADES

 

Speakers : Joan Pope and Bill Dunstone

 

UWA Extension winter programme in association with TheatrePush and the UWA Historical Society

 

The Old Dolphin Theatre, a renovated wooden engineering shed on a site adjoining the present UWA Guild Buildings, was the first dedicated theatre on campus when it opened in 1960, fifty years ago.  For almost two decades, it hosted an astonishing range of cutting-edge productions by diverse organisations in the community, as well as University groups.  It was a starting point for many careers in the performing and creative arts, in Perth and elsewhere. 

 

Joan Pope and Bill Dunstone, who acted and directed at The Dolphin, are researching the history of theatre at UWA.  They have a fascinating array of illustrated material to share in a lively discussion.
