The School of Performing Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), University of Melbourne, has recently appointed Joseph Mercurio to be the Production Department’s lecturer in Performance Technology.  Joseph’s appointment coincides with the introduction of a new degree course for 2012 and focus on the importance of technology in live theatre.

Joseph brings a wealth of experience as a lighting designer and educator.  He has taught for a number of years at different institutions including La Salle in Singapore and as Lighting Course Coordinator at WAAPA.

Education

Haunting, mesmerizing and incredibly powerful, Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Ochres sinuously slithers, stamps and jumps across the stage at Carriageworks. Vividly bold and strong with wonderful lighting by Joseph Mercurio, this was originally premiered 21 years ago in conjunction with The Australian Ballet. It is now regarded as a landmark piece and is appropriately performed in Redfern with its links to the company’s roots.

Lighting Design

In 2019 I had the privilege of attending a brilliant PD session organised and run by Joseph Mercurio for drama teachers in Shanghai and the greater China region, exploring theatre technology - audio, lighting, projection, composition and more. The workshop was fun, informative, and inspiring. Joseph clearly has a passion for theatre and for working with people. He is a mentor in many ways as he makes his craft accessible and his love for theatre visible
