Kieran Bullocks IKEA WARS

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

Two performers, hundreds of different screws, one winner!
After three years of Kieran Bullock building IKEA furniture on stage and talking to audiences across Australia, he's now turning the keys to the kingdom to YOU! And by "YOU" he means a selection of Melbourne's finest performers.

Bullock will turn host, referee and chaos-maker, pitting two contestants against each other in a battle royale for the ages! Two people trying to build a piece of IKEA furniture against the clock, and each other. But if you think it's going to be a straight race, think again. There'll be added challenges, forfeits, and hurdles aplenty, but at the end of each night one contestant will reign supreme as the champion of Sweden*!

*title not officially recognised by the government of Sweden.

Get your allen keys out of the drawer, and your stretchy pants and game faces on. Let's get ready to rumble!

Short And Sweet Week 3

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

Week One – with 8 short plays
Short+Sweet has spread the popular 10-minute format in theatre, dance, cabaret & comedy across Australia and the globe – with festivals now as far afield as Hollywood, India, Malaysia, Dubai and NZ.

Week One (named for stage and screen actor Nicole da Silva) opens on Friday 16 September with 8 terrific plays – among them Carole Dance’s The Travel Writer, Unreasonable Situations by Lindsey Brown and Joseph Atkins’ Red Yellow Blue.
Veteran of dozens of Short+Sweet festivals Dance’s play – which she directs herself – stars her daughter-in-law Julia Dance
as a travel writer struggling to enter ‘normal’ life after months in the jungle.
A playful monologue which captures the deep emotions in us all … and the urge to escape!

Red Yellow Blue is by the late Joseph Atkins – an outrageously funny, prodigiously talented, complex and complicated young man who died aged 27
leaving behind a sheaf of terrific film and stage scripts, this piece he penned for Short+Sweet among them.
His mother, celebrated Australian dancer, choreographer and actor Sheree da Costa directs the piece
which stars Kate Jirelle and Aiden McKenzie as a couple in a car, the morning after after a ‘messy’ night.
Aiden did his AFTT graduation showreel scene with Joseph Atkins. Kate also appears in week three, directing her own play “To Those I Left Behind”.

Unreasonable Situations by Lindsey Brown, directed by Tui Clark, stars Short+Sweet 'legend' and former primaballerina Olga Tamara and Nicole Robinson
in a black comedy about a woman who goes out of her way to avoid confronting her philandering husband.

Other Week 1 plays include Audience Participation by Andrew Thompson, Vee Malnar’s Road Rage, Something Blue by Rae Welch directed by Hao Nguyen,
Ana Fenner’s Next Step (Amelia Gilday dir), Sarah Quartly’s The Kitchen Sink and Charlotte’s Room by Mike Sams, directed by Peter Morrissey-Smith.

Event Date: 06/10/2022, 09:30 pm

They’re trying. Despite everything. They’re really trying.
By Charlie Josephine Directed by: Dirk Hoult
Performed by: Bronte Charlotte & Todd Levi

DAUGHTER: I won’t stay for long. I promise.
FATHER: It’s fine.
DAUGHTER: I just need
FATHER: It’s
DAUGHTER: Get back on my feet.
FATHER: Honestly, it’s
DAUGHTER: I’m really
FATHER: Really. The least I can ...

After all, this prodigal daughter needs a place to crash, break, and burn baby burn! But the apple doesn’t fall...

A warts-and-all work by queer British playwright, Charlie Josephine, examines the DNA of a fractured father/daughter relationship fuelled by chronic depression, addiction, and social shame.

Needle-sharp, physically articulated, opera-fkn-radically punctuated with moments of movement that feel something like a Sarah Kane met up with Carol Churchill for a doof with the DJ from hell, with “tracks” so buckled, we can’t look away - till the crash.
