Blaas is the ultimate audience immersion experience. It is like being in a friendly alien abduction!

Blaas (or blow) hails from the Netherlands. It is unique in that the stars of the show are two big bags of air. Sounds unlikely, but true. However, there is a degree of preparation that we, the audience, must undergo so we can interact with these ‘entities’.

Gravity & Other Myths explore order and chaos with their new show, grounded in theatre, but soaring in acrobatics, contemporary dance and movement that defies definition.

It’s a pleasure to report that Michelle Pearson’s gift - for connecting with audiences and making them feel special - is as strong as ever, in her latest cabaret concept Just Desserts.

She serves sweets that are simply sublime, supplemented by a series of cover songs (some of them clever medleys) delivered with equal parts strength, sincerity, and soulfulness, while generating suspense via audience involvement, and demonstrating tremendous empathy through her telling of life’s experiences - some amusing, others poignant.

How far would you go to win? That’s the prevailing question asked by Squad Goals, a new black comedy written by Brisbane creative, Alex Bayliss. On the darkness scale of dark humour, this play’s the equivalent of Vantablack. It’s an excellent example of a gripping thriller crossed with a comedic horror. It is rather novel to see this genre on stage, as one usually associates with cinema. Refreshing too is the opportunity to see an all-female cast in powerful roles.
