Please share with interested practitioners Huge thanks to @Chris Cody, @Michael Havir, @Alana Hoggart, Paul Dunn & Andrew Morrish for your expertise and brilliance.

21.01.2022 Imagine our surprise to find this art work on our travels through Keilor! Thanks Brimbank City Council for bringing us back to the streets of Melbourne and Brad Teal Real Estate for our change room. #angels #christmas2020 #love #melbourne

20.01.2022 The year is finally coming to a close. Impossible to put words to the experience of what has been. Like eating a huge piece of shit cake that sometimes tasted good! Let them eat cake! Please can it be banana cake or cheese cake next year? Happy Christmas, enjoy saying goodbye to this year and welcoming in a new one.

19.01.2022 ATTENTION anyone with old CD’s they never use anymore! Born in a Taxi are collecting old CD’s to use for our new performance installation ‘Butterfly House’. Let us transform your unused plastic into something extremely beautiful that will contribute to people’s understanding of butterflies and help increase urban butterfly habitat. We need to source 1000 of them!!!!! Leave us a message if you have any you want to get rid of. If you are in Melbourne’s West we can easily pick them up.

18.01.2022 Monash University has announced they will be cutting Monash Centre for Theatre and Performance but students and friends of CTP are still fighting. Here is our response in support of this incredible course that deserves to continue.

17.01.2022 Here’s a tale about a Whale’s Tail. Not like our show ‘The Whales Tale’ but an incredible story non the less.

15.01.2022 Our Angels are so enjoying the love they are receiving when they are out and about in Stonnington, Hobson’s Bay and Brimbank. Thanks for bringing performance back to the streets

15.01.2022 A reminder to anyone who wasn't aware, there is 4 hours left to register your name on this petition to government for a Royal Commission into the Murdoch media. Lets claw back some democracy https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1938

14.01.2022 To any folks hankering for some fun physical training with Kimberley Twiner get on it.

12.01.2022 Thanks Cameron Woodhead for acknowledging both the courage and the sadness felt by Monash CTP Students. Was such a pleasure and an honour to collaborate with them this year. From that perspective, it was hard not to feel both disappointed for and galvanised by graduating theatre students at the Fringe, those from Monash University in particular. Their theatre school is closing and they must have felt totally abandoned during 2020. But still they forged on, producing a suite of works with talented, established theatremakers. That sort of artistic courage is a good omen for the future, and it deserves to be experienced live.

12.01.2022 To anyone curious about what we've been up to this is your chance. We are doing an online workshop on Thursday 12th Nov 4.30-6pm about our current practice creating work online at Monash University if you want to join us. Thanks to Monash Academy of Performing Arts for inviting us
