As of 2018, his books have been translated into 18 languages. His theatre work has been seen in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. He has directed performance workshops and lectured on every continent except Antarctica.  He has been awarded numerous fellowships including Guggenheim, NEH, ACLS, and fellowships at Dartmouth, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, and the Central School of Speech and Drama, London.

TOO Episode 165 - The Taksu Theatre Training Workshop03 Apr 202300:59:53

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their upcoming training workshop on Taksu Theatre in Bali. Every artist in Bali strives for taksu. The Balinese define it as the moment when the artist completely surrenders to the form of their craft and God appears. This energy has many names and is present in every culture. Indians call it Rasa, the Spanish call it Duende, and the Yoruba call it ase. Co-Artistic Directors, Budi Miller, and Adam Marple will introduce you to the concepts of taksu and how it interacts with Western Actor and Director theatre training with Balinese Performing Arts Training (BPAT). This workshop will be in collaboration and consultation with the master teachers of Bali. This 10-day theatre training workshop focuses on activating the ultimate performance energy of taksu in the body and composing spaces to activate and contain this tangible energy. Participants will work daily training in BPAT: kecak acapella choral chanting, Balinese gamelan orchestral, Fitzmaurice Voicework; mask work; the Viewpoints; Budi Miller Taksu Training (BMTT) and Composition and Director Training. All activities and housing will take place at the GEOKS Arts Center in the village of Singapadu from August 19 -29 2023.

TOO Episode 164 - The Book Club 01 | Impro by Keith Johnstone26 Mar 202301:02:54

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their first choice for The Theatre of Others Book Club, Impro by Keith Johnstone.

KEITH JOHNSTONE (1933-2023) was one of the few internationally recognized authorities in the field of improvisation, great chunks of which he created, including Theatresports™, Maestro Impro©, Gorilla Theatre™, and The Life Game©. Keith has written two best-selling books about his Theatre and Improvisation theories and practices, in addition to several plays and short stories.
His books, Impro and Impro For Storytellers, have been translated into many languages. Keith’s ideas about improvisation, behavior, and performance appeal to a wide variety of groups: from actors to psychotherapists, improvisation companies to drama schools and theatre companies, business and management training specialists and humanities research institutes, universities and film production companies have invited him to come to teach them about his ideas, and how they might apply them. He founded the Theatre Machine Improvisation group in England in 1967, touring Europe and North America, and was the Co-founder and Artistic Director of The Loose Moose Theatre Company in Calgary, Canada from 1977 to 1998. He founded The International Theatresports™ Institute in 1998.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a journey through the intertwined emotions of love, identity, and home. Shila, an Indian immigrant artist, reflects on her experiences in New York City while holding onto her deep connection to India. As she stands at the crossroads of two worlds, Shila navigates the complexities of cultural displacement, the evolving meaning of home, and the vulnerability of love.

Through poetic monologue and the soulful echoes of India through her lens, Shila invites us into her inner world—a place of longing, resilience, and quiet strength. She questions societal expectations, confronts the isolation of being an outsider, and finds solace in the memories of her roots. Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a tender exploration of what it means to create a life, a home, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land, all while staying open to love and the unknown.

TOO Episode 147 - Conversation with Director and Contemporary Artist Brook Andrew28 Nov 202201:00:11

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with the Director and Contemporary Artist Brook Andrew.

Brook's interdisciplinary art practice is driven by the collisions of intertwined narratives, often emerging from the mess of the “Colonial Wuba (hole)”. His practice is grounded in his perspective as an Australian Wiradjuri (Indigenous) and Celtic person. Brook's artworks, museum interventions, research, leadership roles, and curatorial projects challenge the limitations imposed by power structures, historical amnesia, and complicity to center and support Indigenous ways of knowing and being through systemic change and yindyamarra (respect, honor, go slow and responsibility).

Brook was the Artistic Director of the groundbreaking First Nations and artist-led “NIRIN,” the 22nd Biennale of Sydney, 2020. Brook’s recent works include the theatre script GABAN, premiering in 2022 as a video work, and live performances at YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal, the Gropius Bau, Berlin. International advisor to the Sámi Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2022; Enterprise Professor, The University of Melbourne, Associate Researcher, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK; ARC (Australia Research Council grant) with Dr. Brian Martin: ARC Special Research Initiative for Australian Society, History, and Culture: ‘More than a guulany (tree): Aboriginal knowledge systems'. As the Director Reimagining Museums & Collections role with the University of Melbourne, Brook founded BLAK C.O.R.E, a collective driven by First Nations methodologies, research, and cultural practices focusing on walumarra (protection), yindyamarra gunhanha (ongoing respect) and murungidyal (healing in the museum).

TOO Episode 138- Audio New Play Festival, James Reiser's SUGARBAG29 Sep 202200:31:36

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

Sugarbag is a one-person radio play centered around the story of a young adult farmer living in outback Queensland. Set in a future where a combination of tightened pressure on international agricultural trade, growing populations, and the monopolization of vast farming industries has led to overfarming and a lack of regard for the welfare of the country. 

Sugarbag is a journey that explores the white colonial farming psyche. A world where in order to survive one has to become thick-skinned, rigid, and emotionally defensive. But when, despite all that, the world around you is still falling to pieces, where do you go? What does it take to unravel 200+ years of compression?


Written and Performed by James Reiser

Featuring Mark Nannup as Jerry

Composer | Sound Designer |  Sound Engineer: Jack Burmeister

Dramaturg: Steven Gaultney


James Reiser is an Australian writer, performer, and visual artist. Having trained at the Victorian College of the Arts, James integrates spoken word and rhythm in his work. He plays with the textural and kinetic qualities in language to tell stories that otherwise become difficult to articulate. 

James makes his playwriting debut with Sugarbag after having written and performed Spoken word poetry to the extent of competing in the Queensland final of the Australian Poetry Slam competition.

Sneha received her Bachelor's in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from India and worked for 4 years as an engineer where she created corporate theatre performances immersed in music and corporate theories.
Sneha has been awarded multiple scholarships as a performer which includes a one-year full scholarship by Christopher Bayes at Pandamonium Studio in 2020,  ‘The Eugene O'Neill Scholarship’ in 2021 at Oneil Theatre, Waterford, CT, and “A distinct 2-year fellowship from Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Miranda Family for emerging artists of color who have exhibited exceptional passion, drive, and unique points of view in various artistic mediums – including but not limited to theatre, dance, film, visual arts, and music – and is actively working to expand her professional development,2021-2023”
She has written and performed original works like ‘Pandemic Chapati’ and devised a piece called ‘Glimpse’ in collaboration with Global majority artists for Rattlestick Theatre Company, New York City in 2021.

At present, she is developing a solo woman show under the mentorship and direction of Budi Miller, supported by the Lin Manuel Miranda Family Fellowship, set to debut in New York City in 2024.

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

The birth of Artificial Body Transplants (ABTs) have broken new ground for cosmetic and plastic surgery, elevating humanity’s obsession with perfection and beauty to greater heights.

Cici has dreamt of the day she could transfer her consciousness into her dream body, manufactured with all the physical features she’s always wanted on herself. But what was once a dream has turned into a harrowing recognition of self-hatred, through the unleashing of repressed memories. In this journey, Cici is forced to come to terms with her body image, and what being beautiful truly means.

Bio

Raiya Basalamah is a Singaporean artist who has performed in numerous stage productions throughout her actor/theatre training at the School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA) and Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). During that time, she has written devised works that dealt with gender dysphoria, as well as a cultural and religious identity. She has also written poetry that was included in Write the World’s ‘Best Of’ annual magazine in 2016.

When @raiya_writes, she is especially intrigued by the rawness, passion, and mystique behind her personal experiences. The grey areas of life, society, and culture are constantly on her mind, and as a young woman, empowerment and spiritual healing are her greatest ideals. These form the backbone of her writing.

*Note: This play deals with body image, and body dysmorphia, and has mentions of fatphobia.

TOO Episode 131- Audio New Play Festival, Conversation with Playwright Frazer Shepherdson05 Sep 202201:10:02

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi start off the 2nd Annual Audio New Play Festival with a conversation with the Melbourne-based playwright of the upcoming audio play WHALE SONG, Frazer Shepherdson.

Frazer (he/him) is a writer and actor based in Melbourne, Australia. He has trained in performance extensively at several internationally recognized institutions, receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2021. At the beginning of his final year of university, he co-founded the Dirty Twenty Podcast, a live-play Dungeons and Dragons podcast that is returning soon after a hiatus imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. When Frazer spends time in the real world, it is in a state of curious observation, taking in nature and people's behavior, and using those things to broaden his imagination and repertoire to fuel the continued growth of his career as an artist.

TOO Episode 130- Conversation with Mumbai-based Actor Rytasha Rathore29 Aug 202201:05:27

Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!

In this episode, Adam and Budi speak with Mumbai-based actor Rytasha Rathore

Rytasha is a Mumbai-based actor and woman-in-progress. Stage, OTT, audio, documentaries - she does it all and is unafraid to be a jack of all trades and a master of at least one. Acting is her first love and she has to her credit several plays, most recently The Patchworks Ensemble's Shikaar directed by Sheena Khalid and Puja Sarup. Her on-screen credits include prime-time daily soap Badho Bahu on &TV, Masaba Masaba, and Comedy Premium League on Netflix, and she will be seen next in a special appearance in Prime Video's Dahaad. She's appeared in a number of YouTube videos for channels like BuzzFeed India, FilterCopy, and Vitamin Stree.

Her hosting work includes Vice Asia's Sex Rated: A Vice Guide to Sex in India and Bumble India's Dating These Days. Apart from that, she is one of the subjects in Channel News Asia's docu-series Altered Lives which follows the journeys of four individuals in four Asian countries through the early Covid-19 pandemic.

All 100 episodes of her podcast Agla Station: Adulthood, which she co-hosted with her best friend Ayushi, are available on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/wherever you get your podcasts. In addition to being an actor, host, and podcaster, she is a struggling adult as she reluctantly navigates through the quagmire that is adult life. She pays the bills using that shiny influencer money, but her heart lies in telling stories that can move and empower her audience. She hopes to have a long and sustained career as an artist and play a myriad of roles that make you laugh, cry and feel less alone.
