  • Publication | 25 June 2025 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
