23.01.2022 Rock Bottom Productions is launching in 2021, stay tuned for our first production announcement.
07.01.2022 Rock Bottom isn’t a low point in life. Rock Bottom is a chance to find a new way forward. Rock Bottom Productions was born at the intersection of graduating artists stepping out into the world as the world was shutting down due to a global pandemic. We represent a new generation of storytellers who wish to use this moment to redefine the way we create, collaborate, and tell stories.... We believe in art as a means to provoke - in form, in perspective, and in content. We aren’t defined by form - telling the stories we believe should be told during this time of change. And finally, we want to represent a new generation of creatives, who know how to create in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment.

03.01.2022 After a SOLD-OUT season and forthcoming publication with Australian Plays, this queer debut by Jacob Parker arrives at La Mama Theatre for Midsumma Festival this April! Starring Tom Dawson & Ilai Swindells This Genuine Moment is an all-too-real conversation between two men who have spent much too long living a life that isn’t theirs. ‘R’ wakes up next to ‘L’, a man he does not remember the name of. ‘R’ has never done this before, and ‘L’ has done this one too many times... This Genuine Moment is a new queer play that asks how much easier is it to be honest with someone we don’t know, than with ourselves? This was one of the most human moments I’ve ever experienced in a theatre, and will likely have a spot in my top 5 for the year - Theatre Travels Tickets are on sale NOW. Don’t miss out. THIS GENUINE MOMENT By Jacob Parker 28 April - 2 May 2021 bit.ly/ThisGenuineMoment EVENT: This Genuine Moment #RockBottom #LaMama #MidsummaCarnival #Gay #Queer #NewWriting #Melbourne #Theatre #IndependentTheatre
