“Brian Callen managed the Visual Arts Studio in the Humanities courtyard from its inception in 1979.

In 1983, he produced a screenprint: a scene looking north across the central lake towards the Library and the Registry. It occurred to me that this print shows just what, in part, the Hub development [was] trying to do: namely, open up the Plaza so that it connects more with the lake.

Brian could see what importance the lake and its environs had to the people at Flinders.”

Winner of the Patrick White Playwright’s Award and Colin Thiele Creative Writing Scholarship, Phillip Kavanagh’s recent production, Deluge, debuted at the 2016 Adelaide Festival to critical and box office acclaim.

Flinders directing graduate Nescha Jelk and Mr Kavanagh first started developing the play in 2013, working with 10 third-year Flinders drama students.

And while three of the actors moved on to other things, the remainder stuck with the complex project through its long development, identifying the best way to bring the five intertwined storylines to life.

Mr Kavanagh said the show was inspired by the huge quantity of information now foisted upon an unsuspecting public via the internet and other media.

“The idea is that there is so much information in the world that we are sort of crushed by it,” he said.

“I wrote the five plays and we worked out as a group how to piece them together.

“I’ve never really liked sole authorship; I have liked collaborating on something and then being able to share the response when it is performed.

“The collaborative process strips back the ego of the writer, so that all the focus is on the development of the work.

THE SCENE SETTER

“The three actors who have come on board since the beginning of the project have really invested themselves in it as well, and there was a great feeling in the 12 of us going on this journey and then taking it to the stage.”

Everyone directly involved in the Festival production was a Flinders graduate.

Mr Kavanagh said he chose to study a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Creative Writing at Flinders because it accommodated his passion for writing.

“It’s always felt a natural process to write,” Mr Kavanagh said.

“I remember having a conversation with a friend when I was a teenager and asking her what sort of things she wrote, and she just looked at me. It was the first time that I remember understanding that not everybody writes in their spare time.”
