The Sydney Front


The Sydney Front was an Australian contemporary performance group formed in 1986 particularly known for the way they used the audience as part of their productions. They combined elements of performance art and experimental theatre in their work. The core of the group were performers John Baylis, Nigel Kelleway, Clare Grant, Andre Eloise and Christopher Ryan. Kelleway had been the first Australian to train with Tadashi Suzuki. Premiering many of their works at The Performance Space, Sydney, they toured the UK, Europe and Hong Kong. Their work The Pornography of Performance which became a cause célèbre when it was performed at London's Riverside Studios, was cited as an example of postdramatic theatre.

A two DVD set and streaming program, Staging the Audience: The Sydney Front documenting The Sydney Front's work was released by Art Films in 2012.
