About re:group performance collective re:group performance collective is Mark Rogers, Solomon Thomas, Malcolm Whittaker, Steve Wilson-Alexander and Carly Young. We are a group of friends based between Sydney and Wollongong NSW who create work by engaging other friends on a project-by-project basis. Inspired by the highs and lows of pop culture, we mash theatre and movie making together to create ‘live cinema’. Our aim is to turn the typically comfortable and passive movie-going experience into something immersive, irreverent, sweaty and live. We are passionate about creating innovative work that questions the role and meaning of art in society, where the technology we use is core to the ideas in each work we make, which is ironic and sincere, and accessible and experimental, all in equal measure. POV is the latest work that captures re:group’s interest in inhabiting and remaking popular cinematic forms for a theatre context. Following sci-fi ( UFO , Griffin 2023) and nostalgic indie movie ( Coil , Opera House 2022 and a 2023 national tour), POV centres the least fashionable and most maligned aspect of documentary filmmaking – the dramatic re-enactment.
