Lucy Orr

Notes

You Can Say Vagina had its World Premiere at the 2018 For Films Sake Festival in Sydney and recently had a sold out screening as part of the 2019 Australian New Wave festival curated by Bill Mousoulis. "Orr is marvellous as Lucy/Ruby; her body language is an amazing study...I found myself crouching forward in my seat – just as I would in a real-life interaction with such a shy, nervous, scrunched-up person...That is, until the final scene, when she climbs into the back seat of her semi-boyfriend’s car and really let’s go with a sobbing soliloquy. It’s so strong that You Can Say Vagina knows it needs to let us breathe out with a final, sad, extended, oh-so-banal streetscape shot. All the difficulty of an ordinary, unglamorous, frustrated life is condensed in that shot." - Adrian Martin, Film Critic. In 2019 Lucy participated in the development of and premiere season of Amelia Newman's (Fresh INK & Malthouse Vanguard) I Am Not A Cake performed at the Fringe Hub for Melbourne Fringe Festival and included amongst the Faces of Fringe feature. She is also a professionally trained dancer, training alongside pre-professionals at The Space, specialising in contemporary, jazz and ballet. Currently living in Melbourne, she also has bases in Canberra and Sydney.
