The Comedy Showcase, part of the 9 day Found Festival, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia was a sell-out hit of the festival. Producer Angela Mary Claire Thompson put together a stellar line-up with MC Geraldine Hickey, Kate McKlennan (pre The Katering Show super stardom), Clem Bastow, Lisa Skye, Lauren Bok, Sonia Di Lorio and Victoria Healy. With a shit tonne of gallows humour and a whole lotta tears of laughter, the Comedy Showcase epitomised the concept of positive protest that positioned Found as a truly unique, conceptual event in the Feminist and live arts landscape. In your face Hitchens.

The Found Festival is an immersive live arts event that responded to the historic site of the Magdalene Laundry at The Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne, Aus. The Found initiative, in both physical and online spaces, the concept of Powerbabes and Positive Protest and all community engagement is conceived, directed and produced by ADHOC.

The Found Festival, 2014 in Melbourne, Australia, featured a huge selection of artists responding to the dilapidated laundry rooms at the historic site of the Magdalene Laundry, as part of The Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne, Aus. The exhibition took place over 6 spaces with many site-specific installations.  As Director, curator and exhibition designer, ADHOC designed the space with lighting and soundscapes that brought out both the strengths of the work and the eerie architecture - a site of great, repressed trauma - in the site itself.
