Peter Kelly
In March 2013 Peter resigned from the State Theatre Company of South Australia after twelve great years as Production Manager. Under the artistic directorship of Rosalba Clemente in the first instance, then Adam Cook, and most recently Geordie Brookman, he had the challenging but utterly fulfilling responsibility of managing STCSA’s technical operations including scenery construction, props, costuming, stage operations and storage. With an extraordinary team of carpenters, metalworkers, scenic artists, costumiers, stage managers, mechanists, and lighting & sound crew he helped build and run ninety-four shows during his time at State Theatre. State Theatre Co's home venue is the 600 seat Playhouse within the Adelaide Festival Centre. Some productions also took place in the Space Theatre, Her Majesty's, the Odeon, Norwood Concert Hall, the old Queens Theatre and STCSA's own Scenery Workshop. During his time at State Theatre sixteen shows were toured – primarily to metropolitan and regional South Australia, but also to Queensland (for QTC), Sydney (for STC & Belvoir St) and Melbourne (for MTC and Malthouse). While at State Theatre Peter worked with invariably fantastic designs by STC's stable of freelance designers – Mary Moore, Dean Hills, Victoria Lamb, Cath Cantlon, Morag Cook, Ailsa Paterson, Jonathon Oxlade and guest appearances by Brian Thomson, Mark Thompson, Julie Lynch and Pip Runciman. A few of the many, many production highlights from his time at State Theatre Company were Honk if you are Jesus featuring a double-helix staircase and a furniture tracking system, In The Next Room featuring an abstracted set of period rooms & sensational Victorian costumes and a contemporary version of The Misanthrope on a raked floor with quilted wall panels that rotated from a chic hotel room into post-modern Louis XIV masquerade. A series of highly innovative installation-based promenade productions were developed within the Drama Centre during his time at Flinders under the visionary leadership of senior lecturer Julie Holledge and designer Mary Moore. From this unique training base Peter was part of an ensemble of students that formed the Red Shed Company which grew into a well-regarded “second-tier” theatre organisation in Adelaide in the late 1980's and early 1990’s. Peter also returned to part-time study during the early 1990's – undertaking the first year of an architecture degree and then transferring to and completing a Post-Graduate Diploma of Economics at Adelaide University.
