The Border Watch : October 30th 2013

The Border Watch Wednesday, October 30, 2013 tvwatch| 3 The confronting and award-winning Redfern Now is back for a second series. Local star Leah Purcell speaks with Guy Davis about the series’ creative process. Redfern Now won over “audiences across the board” when it premiered in 2012. The series, telling a diverse array of indigenous stories set in the Sydney suburb of the title, connected with viewers of all races, says Purcell. “And that’s exactly what we wanted to achieve – universal stories everyone can relate to and that show our strengths and abilities and perspective.” Now Redfern Now has returned for a second six-episode season, with Purcell writing and directing “Consequences”, airing Thursday, November 21. A Leah, what is your Redfern Now episode “Consequences” about? It was actually inspired by [series producer] Jimmy McGovern, and what he wanted out of us as writers. One of his big pushes was “story, story, story”. You know, not situations or circumstances but stories. Me, I’m what you could call a creative non-fiction writer – my work is based on fact but fictionalised for dramatic purposes for theatre or film. And this story is about a young Aboriginal woman, a high achiever, who receives a PhD and essentially goes home to gloat to her Home truths estranged father, who is white. She finds out that he’s dead, though, and from there it’s her journey to make it and herself known to his family.

Stockists for all your battery needs! The Border Watch, Wednesday, October 30, 2013 - 17 Is much of the story based on your personal experiences or of people you know? It was really interesting because when I brought the subject up there were people ccording to award-winning actress, director and playwright Leah Purcell, the critically acclaimed ABC drama TIMELY TALES: Leah Purcell is excited about the new season of Redfern Now. in the group who knew of people in similar circumstances. It’s great to know you’re not alone in a story. You do many, many drafts, and you start very personal, and no one gets to see that because then you have to take on notes from all these other people, and all of a sudden what you think is wonderful is something they think is crap. Was the Redfern Now writing initiative something new to you? I never trained in anything. I just free-fall and dive right in. And Jimmy and the other Redfern Now editors hooked onto that. They said “Here’s a storyteller. She may not know the rules but there’s something in there”. So I learned along the way and I had a ball. What does a project like this one mean to Australia’s indigenous creative community? There’s so much pride and so much determination, and Redfern Now is supposed to happen now. It’s taken 20 years of initiatives to earn our stripes and be where we are today. If it came too soon, it could have been all wrong. We’ve long been capable of telling our own stories and we want to. Redfern Now has an indigenous executive producer and producers, writers, directors all working with wonderful, experienced non-indigenous people whose work educates and feeds us. We wanted to make Redfern Now universal, just sprinkled with a little black pepper. Redfern Now, ABC1, Thursday, October 31, 8.30pm. Leah Purcell’s episode, November 21. 626677
