Julie Vulcan – a personal response
When I think of a living room, I think of a Living Room I think of its resonances How it beckons me in – or not How it makes me feel. A living room is the sum of its parts It is where we come to be with Ourselves Others It is where we come to listen to share stories Where we are part of something Maybe uncomfortably so When I think of violence, I think of its nuances The violence of absence Of stillness Of a sudden movement An exclamation Or a harsh “Shoosh!” When I think of these things I think how these elements are also part of the skill and craft of theatre. Artists create the room for voices to be heard not just in words but in how a space is arranged. How it is attuned. How it greets you. What is present and what is not. Artists draw attention to whose voice is present, whose is quietly missing, and whose is gagged but raging loudly. This is what Michelle does as she so deftly articulates the architecture of space to vibrate with bodies in place in ways that are at once transformative, compelling, and unsettling. And I can’t wait to see what she does with her new home. Julie Vulcan: A Living Room Text in response to The Living Room Theatre for The Living Room Theatre Fundraiser 21 June 2025
