If This Is the Highway (I'Ll Take the Dirt Road): The Formidable Encounters of David Branson, Esq. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984507921)

An actor, presenter, producer, and director, David Branson was a dazzling fountain of energy whose artistic endeavors throughout Australia enlivened and advanced the careers of many performing artists. In this book, many of those share intriguing encounters with this particularly individual figure of inspiration, reflecting upon and revealing how he-and they-helped to shape the grass-roots avant-garde of the performing arts in Australia. Author Joel Swadling, who worked with Branson, highlights how Branson gained fame throughout Australia as one of the founders of Splinters Theatre of Spectacle, a twelve-year experiment in multimedia, cross-discipline outdoor ritual, and through other endeavors. After Branson's death, the avant-garde excitement of Canberra faded for a time without his spirit and guidance. If This Is the Highway (I'll Take the Dirt Road) celebrates and illuminates the impact of one of the avant-garde's most talented titans.
