5 Minutes with...DAVID WILLIAMS ‘Sincere Apologies’

Published on 05 April 2025

1. What influences and inspires your creative practice?
   • I’m inspired by a pretty disparate amount of stuff – the world-building of ‘what if’ sci-fi, the heaving shouty energy of football matches, the obsessive focus of rigorously-researched political documentaries, and crazily hyper-energy physical performance.

    

2. What does the term “arts and culture” mean to you?
   • All the stuff that shapes our lives and helps us transform the way we see the world.

    

3. Out of curiosity, what is your perception of Frankton? Be honest!
   • I love Frankston. But most of my Frankston experience is the Arts Centre and the surrounding bars and cafes. To which I’m always happy to return!

    

4. Describe yourself or artistic practice in five words (Note: you are infinitely awesome beyond these five words).
   • Thoughtful. Conversational. Empathetic. Surprising. Emotional.

    

5. What South Side Festival show/event are you most excited to check out this year?
   • Well, I'm biased, so go see Sincere Apologies. But maybe also go to the Frankston Brewery Tours and Backstage Confidential. They'll be awesome.
6. What song would be your theme song in the movie adaptation of your life?
   • ‘Who’s sorry now?’ by Connie Francis
