Kelly Vincent & Alirio Zavarce create
disability-led theatre: True Ability

True Ability, the latest enterprise of AJZ Productions, brings together former MP, advocate, and writer Kelly Vincent and award-winning actor, director and writer Alirio Zavarce in dual leadership of this new and exciting theatre organisation.

True North Youth Theatre Ensemble

True North Youth Theatre Ensemble is one of SA’s leading youth theatre organisations. We create opportunities where there are none. We create work that is relevant locally, but that will resonate globally. We believe in making a difference in the community, so we use theatre as a vehicle for Social Change. We run workshops that train theatre performance, technical skills and stage award winning live productions that have toured locally and internationally.

The Migration Project

A lot of evocative images and provocative migration detail is squeezed into the sixty minute main stage performance and with Zavarceʼs strong guiding narration supporting the young performers, at times didactic presentation style, the audience becomes caught up in the stories themselves rather than any devised character performance work. These are real young people telling their own real stories; for that alone The Migration Project needs to be applauded.

Fringe Review: A Sense of Home

A sense of home Alirio Zavarce has a real talent in finding the most interesting stories in the most mundane and down-to-Earth things. He is able to turn stories of climbing trees, telling ghosts stories and moving overseas into extraordinary works of theatrical art. With an amazingly creative technical crew and fantastic young actors, Zavarce has produced a tender and completely charming show, full of colour, light and childlike whimsy.
