Send Usher email at gmail dot com. 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: It's my email address, and it was lovely to meet you, 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: the people who came and said hello last night at 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: story Club. Each month I do a live storytelling show 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: in Sydney at the Factory Theater in Merrickporth, and last 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: night was brilliant. Cam Walker was there, Jenfrika, Emma and 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: Lucy Bloom. So we're not on lodge. Our theme for 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: the night was the Big Reveal, the Big Reveal, and 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: so in honor of that, allow me to share with 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: you the story that I told on stage last night. 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: Just imagine you're sitting in a big, very comfy chair 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: with a gigantic, comedically oversized storybook. The best thing about 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: parenting is also the worst thing about parenting. Your kids 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: won't do what you tell them, but they will do 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: everything that you show them. The way you drink, the 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: way you eat, the way you react to fuck wits 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: who cut you off in traffic when the kids are 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: in the back. That is how I learned to say 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: are you fucking right? Cut from my mum. So rather 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: than have my son learn that from me, I try 30 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: to intercept these words on the way to my mouth, 31 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: hopefully in time to say, are you learning to drive today? Mate? Well, 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: that's okay. Mistakes are a part of learning, son, you say, 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: it's important that we give people space and time to 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: get better at things, because we can't learn anything new 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: if we don't make mistakes on the way. O buddy, Yeah, 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: big breath. No matter what we do, our behaviors are 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: burned into their brains thanks to some conveniently ironic survival 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: and instinct which requires you to confront your own flaws 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: head on lest you pass your own bullshit down your offspring. Alas, 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: regardless of how much I work on my attachment style 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: or my self esteem issues, I still get to give 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: my kids the gift of you know, congenital heart defects 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: and udiversity. Hey, sorry, kids, We also influenced our children 44 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: with the cultural choices we make. My father was a doctor, 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: but should have been a musician. He was brilliant. He 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: was always very interested in the avant garde, the artistically ambitious, 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: and the abstract. He had a nose for this stuff, 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: sniffing out the most odd and interestingly bizarre, fearless art 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: and music wherever he went. Before I was born, back 50 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: in London, he took mum to see the original production 51 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: of the Rocky Horror Show. It was Upset Dares at 52 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: the Royal Court Theater, a tiny space with room for 53 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: only sixty people. So it is understandable that in nineteen 54 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: eighty two, nine years later, and now living in the 55 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: cultural abyss of Brisbane, when Dad saw there's a movie 56 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: version of this musical that might remind him of a 57 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: time that he wasn't living in a city of thunburnt 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: thong slappers who pronounced the word pull with two eyes. 59 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: One Saturday he ended up taking me and my elder 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: brother to go and see the matinee showing of the 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Shanell Theater at the 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: campus of the University of Queensland. I was barely seven 63 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: years old, and during the opening credits I figured out 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: by myself that this film was wildly inappropriate for me 65 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: to see. When Richard O'Brien's Riffraff came to the door 66 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: as Brad and Janet arrive at the Big Castle, I'm 67 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: terrified this gaunt faced, straggly haired hunchback answering the door. 68 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Pretty quickly, the entire cast launch into a dance called 69 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: the TimewARP, a dance that I had learned during pe 70 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: and primary school the year before. So this movie must 71 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: be fine, after all, It's just a bunch of seven 72 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: year olds doing a jump to the left and then 73 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: a step to the right, and then the pelvic thrust. 74 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I know it really drives you insane, because teaching state 75 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: school kids dance from a film where the lead character 76 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: is a cross dressing mad scientist Cannibal is more than 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: enough to make children decide to swap genders before recess. Luckily, 78 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: we came to our senses around this stuff and figured 79 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: out that a drag queen reading a story to kids 80 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: is something that we should barricade a library to prevent 81 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: but at this point I'm seven years old, forty years 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: away from being saved by an angry Facebook mob riled 83 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: up by far right American internet memes. So once the 84 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: fun song was over on the screen, a lift begins 85 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: to descend from above while a throbbing backbeat build. There's 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: flashes of a six inch glitter heel stomping in time 87 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: to the music, and when an almighty guitar chord rings 88 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: out as doctor Frankenfurter appears before my eyes, I dive 89 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: off my chair to the cover provided by the seat 90 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: in front of me, hiding among the decaying Maltese is 91 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: and popcorn on the sticky student carpet while the song 92 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: Sweet Transvestite blares through the cinema. A lot of the 93 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: movie was really scary, but there was one moment etched 94 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: into my mind when Susan Sarandon grabs Rocky's hands, puts 95 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: them on her boobs, and sings to touch me. I 96 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: want to be dirty. I feel something strange and my 97 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: tummy like I'm at the very top of a swing 98 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: and I need to wee well. At the same time, 99 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: I know I'm seven years old. But we don't get 100 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: to choose how our brains are wired when it comes 101 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: to who we're attracted to or what were it acted too. 102 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: We're born this way. It wasn't until many years later 103 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: I watched this film again for a movie that was 104 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: supposedly a sure thing. Green lit off the back of 105 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: the hottest musical debut in living memory, The Rocky Horror 106 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: Picture Show was expected to demolish the box office, but 107 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: it was pretty much a flop. With the exception of 108 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: a few sparse cinemas, it all but closed soon after 109 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: it opened. The tight, powerful performance of the stage show 110 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: did not translate at all to the edit, and when 111 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: you watch it now you'll find aching chasms of time 112 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: between lines of dialogue and lingering shots of actors in 113 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: reaction or anticipation, shots that make no sense. But the 114 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: film persisted, and by the time I saw it again 115 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine, it was about to celebrate twenty 116 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: five years of continuous release. Star wars and sounded music 117 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: only made it a pitally. Two and a half years, 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: man in Brisbane on a Friday night with my mate Damien, 119 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: the guitar player in the first band I've ever been in. 120 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: He insists that were going to see the ten pm 121 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: screening of the Rocky Horor Picture Show. Think. Look, I'm 122 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: fifteen years old. If I leg it as soon as 123 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: it finishes, I can make the last bust home at 124 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: twelve oh five. Sure, why not? Once I get inside 125 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: the theater, something is immediately different. I recognize people. My 126 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: recent discovery of the small but potent improvisational theater scene 127 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: in Brisbane had me going to the laboyte Theatre, often 128 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: by myself, to watch these teams of improvisers compete against 129 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: each other. Only a few years older than I am. 130 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: They're the kind of cool and funny that I dreamed 131 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: of being. They were a portal to transport me away 132 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: from my Rugby union obsessed all boys Christian Brothers school. 133 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: For those not in the know, the Christian Brothers are 134 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: a religious order dedicated to Christ as the education and 135 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: in my experience, the physical punishment of misbehaving children. But look, 136 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: I was far away from all that stuff here in 137 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: these dark and cinema with the cool air condition and 138 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: blowing on my face, sitting among these cool improv grown ups. 139 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: I'm here next to them in the cinema with them 140 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: holy shit, I'm somewhere cool now. Since I first went 141 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: to the movies, I have been shushed and shamed and 142 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: tuttered for talking while the movie was on. But tonight, 143 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: as soon as the film starts, the crowd is yelling 144 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: at the screen. The same aching pauses which made the 145 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: movie ploddingly slow, provide convenient space for people in the 146 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,359 Speaker 1: crowd to shout out set up lines which the dialogue 147 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: will pay off when the car breaks down. Brad Majors says, 148 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: didn't we pass a castle back down the road a 149 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: few miles. Maybe they've got a telephone we might use. 150 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: Jane says, I'm coming with you, and we all scream. 151 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: That'll be a first. Besides, the owner of that telephone 152 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: might be a beautiful woman. He is, and you may 153 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: never come back. You should be so lucky. I could 154 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: not believe how clever, how funny, and how exciting it 155 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: was to mess with the sanctity of the cinema. Thinking 156 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: about it now, the entertainment business model is built on 157 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: an idea that an audience will pay to see something 158 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: more interesting than them, And what was happening here in 159 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: this room was turning that on its head. Fourth song 160 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: in I Jump up and I dance the TimewARP again, 161 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: this time with a cinema full of every other freaky 162 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: theater kid in Rismond. But as soon as the next 163 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: song starts, this time I don't jump for cover behind 164 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: the seat in front of me.

I went to that late night 188 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: screening of Rocky Horror every Friday night for three years 189 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: straight to be among the freaks, to mess with the medium, 190 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: not to disrespect the construct of the cinema, but to 191 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: make something more of it by playing around the edges 192 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: of it. That sensibility has informed every piece of work 193 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: during my career, the perpetual need to go meta, to 194 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: go angle, to break the fourth wall, to play with 195 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: the very fabric of the universe we've built, to make 196 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: the show work just enough so that we can connect 197 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: just a little bit better, And then when it all 198 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: comes back together, it does say with a bang, Now 199 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: This is what I try to teach my son now, 200 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: to play around the edges of an agreed upon reality 201 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: in an effort to create something new, something fun, to 202 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: explore possibility. I'm glad I can show him that without 203 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: the added trauma of showing him this film when he's 204 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: just seven. The Rocky Horror Picture Show informed my life 205 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: in many other ways as well. That feeling in my 206 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: tummy is one that for a while, quite a while, 207 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: I was ashamed of. I went to an all boys 208 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: school in Brisbane if the bashing was still a thing. 209 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: By my mid twenties, though, I ventured out into the 210 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: world and begun to test the potency of that element 211 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: of my sexuality. I conducted a number of field experiments, 212 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: and when the results came back and I analyzed the data, look, 213 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: it turns out the way I feel about that part 214 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: of me is exactly the same way that I feel 215 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: about jet skis. I get it, I understand it. I've 216 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: even tried it a few times. It's exciting and dangerous, 217 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: having that amount of power throbbing between your legs. I 218 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: see the appeal, but in the end it's not for me. 219 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to stand on the shoreline. I 220 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: can appreciate it from here, but off you go, you 221 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: knock yourself out. There's something over here that I'm far 222 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: more into. But I am glad that I had a 223 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: chance to get comfortable with that part of me because 224 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: now I can watch, for example of Brisbane Broncos half 225 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: back super start Reese Walsh, would be amazed at his 226 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: athletic ability and incredible skill as he scores the most 227 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: unbelievable fucking try in the twenty five Grand Final.
