The Show Pace - Show Business, Live Entertainment and Performing ArtsAuthor: Brent Pace
The Show Pace brings together people from all over the worlds of show business, live entertainment and performing arts as we pull back the curtain on the ins and outs of the stage industry. We dig deep into the journeys and minds of some of the most experienced performers, curators and elites within the show world. From those buying the arts, to those selling the artists, we build on conversations with the agents, venues and everyone in between. Each journey is different and as we deconstruct the playbook and learn how to navigate this ever changing landscape. As we focus on being the best we can be through engaging conversations we demystify the once unspoken facade laying over the show world. Raising a show, nurturing a venue and growing a team are all organic experiences which there is no set path onto the stage. We debunk those journeys and you'll learn new strategies, ideas, and insights that no one else is discussing. Armed with a new inventory of perspective, you can adapt these experiences and ideas to create your very own yellow brick road.

#14 Under the Fringe Tent | All About Producing Shows, Tents, Festivals and Tours with Strut & Fret's Jess Rankin
Episode 14
Tuesday, 13 October, 2020
#14 Under the Fringe Tent | The Garden of Unearthly Delights is the unique and colourful festival playground within Adelaide's world famous Fringe festival, held every year from late Feb - mid March. Jess Rankin is one of the producers of 'the Garden' as it is affectionately known and has taken the role of being a producer adding to it a flurrying array of bubbles, feathers, tents, cocktails and shows. Jess is not only a show producer for the unique Melbourne based production house, Strut & Fret, but she is also an event producer. She works as part of a team cultivating everything from shows from which are seen at the likes of the Sydney Opera house, to programming International Arts festivals such as the Bread & Circus - World Busker's Festival, to running the majority of the Spiegeltent festivals which pop up and tour around Australia from time to time. Being a producer within the arts is, to Jess and the likes of her team and colleagues - an experience and that is exactly where her production skills lay. Jess started off trying her hand at producing her college parties whilst she was studying to be a museum curator but as she begin to grow her, at the time, part time positions within the festival bar scene, Jess started working under the Strut & Fret team, in one of their Brisbane festival bars, and from there she took the leap into the world of Producing, with one thing leading to another giving her the ability to curate just about everything, except for paintings. A huge part of what Jess does is working as essentially the Presenter, programming everything from niche 1 man shows, right through to commercial performing arts which they tour around Australia and New Zealand. Sometimes her programming and producing however may not fit into one of the 200+ theatres in Australia and that's where Spiegeltents come in. Jess divulges the exciting ins and outs of the Spiegeltent, which is essentially a hand crafted European theatre in the round style tent that can be built just about anywhere. From Adelaide Fringe, to Fringe World in Perth, the Sydney Opera House & everything in between, Jess Rankin is bold and honest in her approach being a part of the commercial performing arts and events arena. She gives a great insight into how differently her company works as opposed to the traditional Performing Arts presenter, theatre style producing model.
