25.01.2022 LOOKING BACK As we head into our next making project, the Drug Aware New Work Mentorship, we would like to share with you some footage from Tide Tales, four original plays entirely written, directed, and performed by the ensemble. Tide Tales was a fantastic learning experience, with the writers of the plays being mentored by Jane Fitzgerald of Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp), and the directors mentored by Jeffrey Jay Fowler of The Last Great Hunt. ... We would like to say a huge thank you to Regional Arts WA and Healthway through the Drug Aware program for supporting the mentorships, Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp) for having us in Sydney to develop the works, and to the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Peel for supporting the production. Thanks to Michael Sgro Films for the great video!

05.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we have had to cancel our co-production of The 1s, The 0s and Everything In Between with the Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp) due to the evolving COVID-19 situation. This has been done in line with current Government advice and to ensure the safety of cast and crew, audiences, the wider public, and of course, those most at risk in these times. We will be looking to reschedule the production at a later date. In the meantime, we call on... everyone in our community to practice as much social distancing as is possible and our decision to cancel this event is in line with urgent advice from medical practitioners. Our hearts go out to all arts organisations, and indeed everyone, who is struggling through these difficult times, we can get through this if we come together in solidarity. #staythefuckhome : Zal Kanga-Parabia from the original 2018 production Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
