Last Tuesday Society:
Since 2008 the Melbourne Underground of Theater and Performance has co-existed with it sketch pad of a program called The Last Tuesday Society. This portfolio of images was created over the period of 2008-2011.
A few quite words about the Last Tuesday Society by none other than Thomas Henning.
Original article
"A year or so ago I became obsessed with the idea of conducting group therapy with an unwitting audience functioning as the collective therapist. It was perhaps one of the worst ideas I’ve ever had, yet I kept running back into it. Few event nights accept acts like mine. The only one I’ve found that comfortably includes bizarre performance alongside theatre, comedy, dance and contact acrobatics is The Last Tuesday Society.
It is a Variety night like no other. Its nature cannot be boxed into any particular performance genre. It straddles every variety of live entertainment, from theatre to performance art, comedy to circus to song. While it seems to have shirked most mainstream press thus far, there is a large underground following behind it
The Last Tuesday Society is a Melbourne based gathering, allowing performers of all styles and persuasions to try out new and exciting pieces of work in the presence of other interested theatre practitioners."
