Autumn 2025
Hi there.
I hope everyone is staying as safe and connected as you can, in whatever way you think best.
As for us, we’ve ended 2024 and started 2025 with a few shows and with some potentially exciting prospects hoping to land soon.
Transmission – Into The Dark This is the final realisation of our long-term project, Noir Trail. Re-envisioned as Transmission – Into The Dark, it premiered at The Substation in Newport in October 2024 as part of the Melbourne Fringe. This out-and-indoor walking radio transmission was fortunate enough to win the SA Touring Award, so in February/March we travelled to Adelaide to re-make it as part of the Adelaide Fringe. The show adapted well to its new setting in Port Willunga and received some great reviews along with fantastic audience response.
upsidedowninsideout Before that, we re-created our immersive children’s show upsidedowninsideout for Her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat. This historic, immaculately restored theatre proved an ideal match for this production. The show played as part of the 150th year celebrations, with the possibility of further re-stagings into the future.
All The Ways Without You We are continuing to work on our new work, All The Ways Without You, with our Irish collaborators, Aoife and Riain, exploring the possibilities of a site-specific work in which the site is a black-box theatre. An overseas development is tentatively planned at this stage, but we will await a few things falling into place before we announce details.
64 Ways of Being Part 1 (Melbourne CBD) and Part 2 (Footscray) have been launched as part of our major commission, a collaboration with games researcher Dr. Troy Innocent and app development company Millipede.
Part 3 (Fitzroy) was launched in October 2023 and Part 4 (St. Kilda) will be launched early 2025.
Our (southern) summer is usually a time for a reset and future plannings and imaginings. This year we were constantly making shows, so are looking forward to a (small) breather in the autumn before we head into new works. There are a few conversations happening, here and overseas, but for any of these to come to fruition always involves a combination of luck, logistics, finances and good will – so we wait, enjoy the summer and will find out what the world has in store for us. We have been very fortunate in the past (!), but recognise – as in so many things around the world – that things can change very quickly.
As always, thank you for your interest in our work, and do take care of yourself and others, stay safe, stay connected. We really do hope that some day there’ll be an opportunity to bring one of our works to wherever you may be.
