Mama Stitch
Between Saturday 27 July 2024 and Sunday 28 July 2024
STORIES ABOUT MUMS.
Mama Stitch is a storytelling experience, celebrating Mums in all their imperfections, challenges and triumphs.
A cross section of people from the community are interviewed, ranging in age, experience and background.
These interviews are edited and presented as “Headphone Verbatim” (meaning the actor wears headphones and delivers the text as they hear them, live, without embellishment).
Each story is live scored by our band Kettlefish, with an original and unique musical response.
The work is intimate; performed in the cosiness of Gardiner Street Arts Collective. We invite the audience into the space with toast and tea (we bake fresh bread for each show in the space) so the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
At the end of each show we invite the audience to write an anonymous letter to their own mum that we display in the space. That way, the space and set are continually built as more people engage with it.

Little Red in the hood - SCHOOL SHOW
Wednesday 8 May 2024
LITTLE RED IN THE HOOD - An interactive, educational performance for children
A fun-filled fractured fairy tale with educational messages.
Little Red loves her Granny and her neighbourhood!
She’s like a super-hero in a hoodie- watching her neighbour’s houses while they’re away and always on the lookout for litterbugs and people who don’t know how to recycle.
Her mottos are ‘Keep Australia Beautiful’ and ‘Be a Recycle Super-Hero’
Everyone in ‘the hood’ thinks Red is pretty amazing!
Of course, every story has a troublemaker and this one has Walter – The Big Bad Wolf. He’s not really that big or bad ...more like medium-sized and cheeky, but he does leave rubbish all over the place and has no idea about recycling.
Walter can smell the awesome chocolate cake Granny’s got cooking and he’s on a mission to get the first bite of the cake… and Granny…oh no!!
Will Little Red get there first and save her Granny… and the awesome chocolate cake?
Come along and find out!
