Biographical details |
|||||
|
Educated in Perth, Western Australia, Darrelyn began her working life whilst still at University as a fire-eater with a circus. She left UWA at the end of her second year to join the renaissance of the Australian Film Industry, working on the crews of feature films with such directors as Peter Weir (The Last Wave) and Fred Schepisi (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith). Her early short films all won local awards and screened at the Sydney and Adelaide Film Festivals, 1977-1979. She worked at Fred Schepisi’s production house in Melbourne as assistant editor/PA until Schepisi left for the USA, meanwhile completing the Women’s Training Course run by the Open Programme of The Australian Film, Television and Radio School in Melbourne, 1978. From 1980-1983 she held a position as writer-director at Film Australia in Sydney (Betty Viazim: Milliner; Ken Howard: Saddler and Harness Maker; and Judah Waten: Novelist). Darrelyn left Film Australia to train at NIDA, Sydney, Australia, and graduated from the Director’s Course in 1985. Nine of her plays have been produced and four published. She has received Australia Council Grants and Fellowships and was the recipient of a Writers Residency at the Keesing Studio, Paris, in 1992 and a TropNest residency at Fox Studios, Sydney, in 1998. Darrelyn was the initiator and inaugural editor of Dialogue: Newsletter of the Australian National Playwrights' Centre (Sept 1989-Dec 1991), editor of The FAA Journal (1986-87;1991-93); editor of Under Capricorn: An Anthology of Australian Astrology (1990), and editor of Lowdown Magazine: Youth Performing Arts in Australia (1993). She has served on the councils of the Australian National Playwrights Centre and Australian Writers Guild and either judged or co-ordinated categories of the AWGIE awards 1980-2001. A Short Film About ... Snoring (1997) - her first film since training at NIDA - screened at numerous national and international film festivals, including the 29th Filmothek, Oberhausen and 11th Exground Das Filmfest, Wiesbaden. It sold to the Comedy Channel (Australia) and was distributed internationally. Concentration Games, a mini-documentary contrasting two women's experiences of childhood trauma, screened at Tropfest ’98 and at 2nd Amnesty International Short Film Festival, Brisbane.
Woven amongst this career,
Darrelyn is also a professional consulting astrologer and co-principal,
with Bernadette Brady, of Astro Logos, a post-graduate astrological school
founded in 1990 in Adelaide, South Australia and now located in Bristol,
UK. Astro Logos prepares astrologers to undertake the International
