SUNNYTOWN 14 - 31 OCT By Krystal Sweedman

ROUNDHOUSE THEATRE

Something’s wrong with Danika Hart. She calls it a glimmer. On Dani’s 13th birthday a glimmering episode transports her to another world. Can she find her way back? A surreal journey through a young girl’s subconscious, Sunnytown explores the consequences of choosing to cope when change is your only hope. Director Heather Fairbairn Designer Catherine Steele Script Dramaturgy Kathryn Kelly & Peter Matheson Assistant Director Jessica Palfrey Producer Emma Joenpolvi Lighting Designer Jason Glenwright Sound Designer Guy Webster Stage Managers Laura Hansford & Emma Wenlock with Caroline Dunphy, Olivia Hall-Smith, Ron Kelly & Vanessa Krummenacher Photo by Marshall Stay


THE CHAT 4 - 14 NOV Conceived by James Brennan

LA BOITE STUDIO

The Chat is a new performance created and performed by artists and ex-criminal offenders. Led by performance maker and former parole officer James Brennan with renowned actor and co-creator David Woods, this work takes a dark and humorous look at the criminal justice system. Crime and punishment... oh and fantasy.

Created by James Brennan & David Woods Designer Alex Davies Dramaturg Ashley Dyer


THE MOTION OF LIGHT IN WATER 4 - 21 NOV Created by Elbow Room

ROUNDHOUSE THEATRE

A queer sci-fi love story that celebrates the strength we find through our difference, The Motion of Light in Water is a thrilling journey into the imaginative possibilities of science fiction, inspired by the life and work of a truly original and subversive figure - Samuel R. Delany. Director & Co-Creator Marcel Dorney Sound Designer & Composer THE SWEATS Production Designer Matthew Adey Costume Designer ZoĂŤ Rouse AV Designer Andre Vanderwert Lighting Designer Kris Chainey Producer Dean Cartmel Cast & Co-Creators Emily Tomlins, Ray Chong Nee, Paul Blenheim Tom Dent, Ngoc Phan & Olivia Monticciolo Commissioned by HotHouse Supported by Theatre Works & Arts Victoria


MAXIMUM 25 NOV - 5 DEC By Natalie Abbott

LA BOITE STUDIO

Maximum is a duet between a female contemporary dancer and male professional bodybuilder, in which the unlikely duo perform a series of movement tasks and intense acts of physical endurance. Expect a show with real muscle - LITERALLY. Maximum reveals subtle truths about the nature of human physicality as dance and bodybuilding collide, under sweltering lighting with a throbbing soundtrack. Lighting Designer Matthew Adey Sound Designer Daniel Arnott Dramaturg Matthew Day with Natalie Abbott & Donny Henderson-Smith
