How To Be A Person When The World Is End...

Event Date: 18/10/2022, 08:00 pm

A contemporary analysis of how it feels to be alive; through love, grief, sex, and the Apocalypse.
How To Be A Person When The World Is Ending
Written by: Myfanwy Hocking
Directed by: Meg Dunn

“I was expecting a knock. I was expecting a crash. I was expecting a fucking bang. I was expecting the walls to shatter and the ground to open to molten magma and my house to float down the street. I was expecting it to boil then freeze then boil again, but as far as I’ve seen, the end of the world is watching shit TV with you fucks.”

The world is ending. For real this time. Maybe. It’s a very big deal. Four friends are waiting expectantly. A couple plays out their parts. A girly gets really buff. People try some kinky stuff. And a sad clown gets up and goes to work.

HOW TO BE A PERSON WHEN THE WORLD IS ENDING is a post dramatic exploration of what it means to be a member of Generation Z at present. It captures the essence of hurt, apathy, boredom and hilarity that comes with being expected to exist in an expansive way whilst being told we have a few good years left. Exploring relationships, work culture, Dungeons and Dragons, nihilism, pessimism and porn, it is a funny, shocking, meditation on youth. Written by Myfanwy Hocking, HOW TO BE A PERSON is a dynamic, challenging, new Australian work that explores the hyper lyrical side of writing. Performed by a phenomenal cast of artists, audiences will be left in awe of this bold new production.

Melbourne Fringe will be hosting the show’s national premiere, off the back of the Edinburgh Festival. This show is the proud recipient of the George Fairfax Memorial Award.

Diana McLaren Is Delicious!

Event Date: 14/10/2022, 07:30 pm

A night of humour and honesty with the Queen of Oversharing.
Diana McLaren tells stories of life, love and sex, with insightful wit and brutal honesty that will have you laughing till you cry.

Her first-ever full-length stand-up comedy show 'Delicious!' focuses on her adventures in dating, what it means to be an adult child of divorce and how everything is delicious.

First developed back in 2020, her plans were put on hold due to this pesky little virus thing that happened, but she's back with new jokes about surviving lockdown with her dog, and how weird she can get when she is left alone for too long!

Out Of Africa

Event Date: 14/10/2022, 08:00 pm

Joyful, musical, energetic story-telling for Sydney season
Zimbabwe-born singer-actor Tarisai Vushe, dancer Emilia Nwakpa, and rapper and poet Samuel Barrie, debut the power-packed musical about their amazing lives at the Seymour Centre Sound Lounge in October.
They’re supported by Kenneth Tusubira (dance, drums) & Jonathan Chaga (keyboard).

Co-written with Playscript’s Geoffrey Sykes, Out of Africa is a celebration of their shared journeys from African villages to suburban Sydney!

In an exciting collage of traditional African and modern Australian song, dance, storytelling, rap, legend, comedy and more, their inspiring migrant stories will entrance audiences.
Along the way audiences are invited to share visions of Africa’s past and Australia’s present – with dramatic differences… as well as some surprising common ground - along the way!
Tarisai Vushe has had an outstanding career as singer since arriving in Australia 20 years ago.
She’s featured on TV (including Australia's Got Talent), in lead roles in touring musicals,
including in the Lion King and Madiba (Mandela) and, most recently, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

She is joined by rap artist and poet Samuel Barrie, and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa, and supported by talented Ugandan-born Kenneth Tusubira with drums and dance, acclaimed Zimbabwean keyboard player Jonathan Chagaresango and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa.

A Few Things That Happened On The Way To ...

Event Date: 11/10/2022, 06:30 pm

Being loved? Sounds fucking terrifying.
This dark comedy follows Annie as she beautifully, hilariously, and tragically negotiates the possibility of being pregnant for the second time in her life.

Waiting for her pregnancy test timer to go off, Annie has no idea what she is supposed to be feeling, but she is almost certain that what she is feeling isn’t just bloating from the pizza she had for breakfast.

In these ‘three minutes’, Annie is transported to the first time she thought she might have been pregnant and finds she has no choice but to finally confront the painful experiences she’s been through ‘on the way to now’.

Here, now, the second time, Annie is in a fairytale relationship with Freddie: a man who finds a way to say ‘I fucking adore you’ through only his smile and Annie finds herself realising that maybe, just maybe, love isn’t meant to hurt.

Maybe love is meant to feel good after all.

Sonder

Event Date: 07/10/2022, 06:00 pm

We are dancers with Down syndrome. We have vivid & complex stories to tell. Watch. Listen. Realise.
Performed by: the emotion21 dancers

Directed by: Tristan Sinclair

Dramaturg: Jamie Haliday

Sonder is the realisation that each passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. How well do you know someone with Down syndrome? Have you underestimated what we can do?

We are dancers with Down syndrome and we eagerly invite you to get to know us, and to discover what we can do!

SONDER is a bombastic dance show that challenges long-held ideas and values around what it means to have a disability. We will help you see the person, not just the label of our disability. It is a joyous, unexpected and entertaining dance performance co-created and entirely performed by a magnificent cast of 24 dancers with Down syndrome.

We invite you to journey with us as we share some of our unique experiences of living in this world; we hope that by sharing it will help us become more accepted as artists. You will leave with a full heart and an enlightened mind.
