“UFO started from our shared ambition to make a theatre show that involved an actual ‘life-sized’ UFO landing.
4
Kirby produced a work of speculative fiction, or more accurately, an anti-blockbuster - in opposition to the expanded genre of science fiction it might normally occupy. As a way of capturing the scale of the landing, Solomon created small-scaled miniatures, repurposing 3D modelling techniques to create theatrical puppets. Scans of the actor’s bodies are replicated via a 3D printer, complete with moving parts.”
UFO
By Kirby Medway & Solomon Thomas At a golf course on the edge of a regional town, a reluctant group of young people are employed to keep watch over a landed spacecraft. Can they create order where there is none? Or will everything break down in the face of the unknown? UFO is a new live-cinema, sci-fi theatre work performed on a 1:8 miniature golf course, using exquisitely detailed scale miniatures. Combining a mesmerising mix of video, stop-motion animation and live theatre, this work offers an alternative to the epic blockbuster style narratives about human-alien interaction we so often see.

ABOUT
Kay Proudlove Kay Proudlove is a South Coast performer, writer and composer who has toured worldwide with her live shows, and worked on various music, theatre and dramatic arts projects. Kay’s new work transforms her naïve teenage diaries to a collection of intimate, vulnerable but hilarious indie-folk songs. “The inspiration for Dear Diary came from moving house and stumbling across the journals of my teenage years. The entries were heartbreaking, funny and vulnerable, which to me is a winning combination when it comes to writing songs and making art. Delving into this time capsule of teenage Kay naturally led to making comparisons between the past and present, which has been a strong narrative drive during the development, with the assistance of dramaturg Phil Spencer. Dear Diary takes a look at what we hold on to in our lives (both physically and mentally), why we keep these things and when it’s the right time to let them go, if ever.” Images courtesy of the artist/s

DEAR DIARY
By Kay Proudlove
A musical work that brings the stumbling, unsure and cringe-worthy naivety of Kay’s teenage diaries to the foreground. Sure to produce a solid belly laugh, maybe a few tears, and a sense of familiarity and camaraderie. Kay weaves the hilarious and heartbreaking into a show of storytelling, music and self-discovery.

ABOUT
Alicia Battestini Alicia Battestini is a Wollongong based performer and director of physical theatre. She performed, directed, and toured with Circus Monoxide for 11 years; and she has performed with Merrigong Theatre Company, Legs on the Wall, and at the Sydney and Perth Festivals. She continues to make and collaborate on physical theatre in the region. “This work was originally devised with my friend and collaborator Vestri Mendum. Conceived as a double-act by two generations of circus performers, it told the story of Elsie, a brilliant young person who battles daily with anxiety and depression. Vestri played Elsie and I played the characters around her – real and imagined.
Images courtesy of the artist/s
After losing my collaborator, this shownever-finished is now Elsie for Vestri, a bare-bones homage to a dear friend and much-loved local circus artist – a young and proud gay man who was unapologetically vulnerable, virtuosic with his body, and fierce when he loved.”

ELSIE FOR VESTRI
By Alicia Battestini with Mic Gruchy
Five people struggle to come to terms with the disappearance of the charismatic and infuriating Elsie; a gender fluid twenty-something who couldn’t leave her apartment for weeks after the death of her mother, but then one day just simply vanishes. A collision of joyous and eccentric character performance with sumptuous imagery, Elsie for Vestri is a celebration of dress ups, fantasy, and intense physicality as a balm for grief.

ABOUT
Lisa Maris McDonell Lisa Maris McDonell is an Illawarra-based dance artist who has been creating and presenting performance works in various contexts in Australia and internationally since 1996. “The $20 Commission Project and its performance offshoot, The Lobster, were conceived during the COVID lockdown of 2020. While airlines, construction, sport, and travel industries were given lifelines, the arts were provided little in the way of support, and those who stayed in the industry had questions about the system they were participating in. The $20 Commission Project asks: what is an artist worth?
Image: Children of the Revolution
To answer this question I approached choreographers from around the world and asked them to create a dance work worth $20 on me, a middle-aged mother of three from the suburbs of Wollongong. The Lobster weaves these choreographies with storytelling, video projection and $20 soundbites provided by professional musicians from the South Coast.
10
This is a performance that encourages audiences to consider the worth of artists within a society that asks for everything to have a dollar value.” - Lisa Maris McDonell
THE LOBSTER ($20 Commission Project)
By Lisa Maris McDonell
The Lobster weaves dance and movement pieces created by choreographers from around the world, with storytelling, video projection and original sounds by musicians and composers from the South Coast of NSW to create a work of protest and provocation.

ABOUT
Applespiel Applespiel evolved out of a shared interest in contemporary performance and a desire to develop a collaborative creative process. The collective makes work that places cultural phenomena and forms outside of those traditionally shown in theatres on to the stage, in order to deconstruct their more unsettling aspects. Applespiel met at University of Wollongong, and have always found Merrigong to be a rich environment for experimentation and play. Applespiel are Simon Vaughan, Nicole Kennedy, Emma McManus, Mark Rogers, Troy Reid, Joseph Parro, Nathan Harrison, Rachel Roberts and Solomon Thomas. Sorry Sorry Sorry is performed by Nathan Harrison, Emma McManus and Troy Reid.

“Over the past few years, internet apologies have become their own cultural phenomenon: YouTube influencers and social media personalities seeking to outdo each other in sincerity, emotion, and selfflagellation. In Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, we sought to explore this peculiar world of internet apologies, and found ourselves exploring a much larger conceptual arena - one which stretched from intimate, personal apologies, to corporate attempts at saving face, to landmark political and social moments. We’ve talked to historians, speechwriters and restorative justice workers. And watched a lot of YouTube.
12
This project requires us to experiment with form and find the choreography and exhaustion of performed apologies. We’re using apologies that are written, performed, broadcast, filmed and edited - we want to bring those processes into a live theatre space in a way that is tangible and reflective. With a range of skills in performance, writing, directing, movement, music and tech, we’ve worked hard at developing a very open process where these elements will lead us to unexpected places. And if we fall short, at least we’ll know how to sound sincere.”
SORRY, SORRY, SORRY By Applespiel Sorry, Sorry, Sorry is a deep dive into the modern apology. Where is the meaning and sincerity in a landscape filled with apologies born from football scandals, YouTube personality confessions and uncountable moments of personal shame? In 2022 the world is a different place and our ideas of accountability have shifted – we hope. So has the value we place on being in a shared physical space, exploring ideas. In a social and political climate where interrogating the past, being held to account, and seeking a productive way forward are key issues, the act of apologising is more important than ever.

Using apologies that are written, performed, broadcast, filmed and edited they are transformed when brought into a live theatre space and explore the intersection between performance, accountability and apology. With a lot of material to inhabit, you can’t help but ask: if you rehearse an apology and put it in front of an audience, can you still mean it?

ABOUT
Elana Stone & Tom Hogan Elana Stone is a singer, songwriter, and bandleader of the ARIA award-winning folk and alt country act All Our Exes Live In Texas. She is an ongoing member of Missy Higgins’ band, and has collaborated with the likes of Josh Pyke, Ngaiire, and Melbourne comedy group Tripod. Tom Hogan is a multidisciplinary artist and musician working on Gadigal land, Sydney. His work is focused on myth and authenticity, explored through comedy, music and storytelling. “A musical about Burke & Wills seems a little... on the nose, and is an ambitious undertaking for two, middle class, white, musicians. Most of us know some part of their story, and saying it’s a musical certainly conjures up a particular type of show. But it’s a story that needs to be told.
Images courtesy of the artist/s
It’s a musical that’s not just about some financially well-endowed white men walking into the desert with a bathtub dreaming of everlasting historical relevance; Mount Hopeless is about colonisation, the effects of ignoring the wisdom of the traditional owners of this country, and the repercussions of enforcing your will upon the environment. It’s important that we examine our own lives and look at what not to do; Burke & Wills provide us with a list of hilarious examples of exactly how to royally f**k up when navigating this country - with profoundly serious consequences.
14
The real trick is that it’s a comedy. ...And it’s not that kind of musical.” - Tom Hogan and Elana Stone
MOUNT HOPELESS
By Tom Hogan and Elana Stone
A musical tragic comedy based on the story of Burke & Wills. The two idiots are often heralded as tragic heroes, and as symbols of the Australian spirit, rather than a warning tale of exactly not what to do. The songs are joyous, the story has you slapping your forehead, saying “NO, YOU FOOLS!”, and underneath it all are some real questions about mateship, biting off more than you can chew, and rewriting history to suit your own narrative.

AUSTI Dance and Physical Theatre (AUSTI) is a developmental contemporary dance company, the first of its kind in the Illawarra. Helmed by Artistic Director, Michelle Maxwell, AUSTI bridges the gap between full-time dance training, tertiary education and a professional career for young dancers trained in contemporary dance, ballet, physical theatre and improvisation.

“uNCOILEd has been an annual production created as a platform for AUSTI artists to explore and create original works on company dancers. I started this production as a tribute to former student, Nicole Fitzsimons, an avid supporter and friend of the company, who tragically passed at the age of 24. This platform has developed into uNCOILEd eXposed - the Illawarra’s first-ever curated, outcome-based, contemporary dance and physical theatre residency. This revamped residency offers external emerging artists the chance to make their choreographic debut and premier thought-provoking art that is bold, experimental and, in parts, raw and emotional. Lifting the lid off this formerly ‘in house’ season, artists will have the opportunity to collaborate with a group of committed dancers, in a supportive, uplifting environment. We hope to increase access and exposure to the art form, through presenting diverse, abstract and raw perspectives.” - Michelle Maxwell

“Let me start by acknowledging, that I write this on Gundungurra Country. My family came to be here after they were removed from Yuin lands. Like many First Nations families, we have a strong history of dispossession, relocation, oppression and control as a result of Government policy and colonisation. This history of disconnection is something I’ve been healing from for the last decade, through writing, making art, teaching and researching. I have spent hours yarning with family, tracing our ties, hiking sacred mountains, and sipping cuppas with Elders who hold the stories of my Grandparents. Going Home centres around my journey of homecoming and reconnection, back on Gunai Land. It’s my hope that this work will celebrate the strength, resilience and warmth of First Nations communities and offer solace, for those similarly disconnected or displaced. This work would not be possible without the support of Elders, Custodians and Family on Gundungurra, Yuin, Dharawal and Gunai Countries.” - Kirli Saunders
Comprising seven members, The Strangeways Ensemble is Merrigong’s permanent company of professional actors perceived to have intellectual disability, and Wollongong’s only professional theatre ensemble.
GOING HOME
The Strangeways Ensemble is Malcolm Allison, Ethan Arnold, Jordan Bowater, Ethan Green, Rachel Head, Phillip Prentice, Christian Tagliaferro, with Director AnneLouise Rentell.
Development Showing By Kirli Saunders Inspired by Kirli Saunders’ own reconnection Country and Community, Going Home explores the intersection of the removal of four siblings taken from their families in 1970’s and the homecoming of those siblings, to Country in present day.
“We explore universal themes from our unique perspective and aim to find the fantastical in the mundane. We make work which is evocative and challenging, but also poetic and funny. We like to make people think and laugh.”
Weaving fiction with truth, poetry with prose and language with land, this work offers solace to those similarly disconnected and celebrates the strength, survival and warmth of First Nations communities. It explores the intergenerational impacts of our shared history and confronts what we leave behind when we are forced to go, and prompts us to think about what lies ahead.

SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED Development Showing By The Strangeways Ensemble Something That Happened explores the quest for fame as a desire for visibility, to be seen and heard. The work is inspired by the representation of people with disability in film and theatre, with specific reference to John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. This will be a work-in-progress presentation of concepts and scenes that are being developed towards the Main Stage production in 2024.

SUPPORTED ARTISTS
aXis by Circus Monoxide aXis is the new professional performance troupe from Circus Monoxide. Since 1996, Circus Monoxide has been producing professional touring productions and a wide variety of community, training, and education projects for people of all ages from their base in Wollongong. “aXis flips perspectives on fundamental issues confronting the human experience. Our intelligent and abstract works explore socio-political issues and drive from a belief in circus with purpose. Circus is at the core of our practice, anchoring our performance style and content, though we also turn around other forms and collaborate in the spaces of theatre, dance, magic, puppetry, opera and live music.” - aXis
THE METAMORPHOSIS
Development Showing
The Metamorphosis interrogates the impact of irreparable change beyond our control and the consequences of social isolation on our mental health by translating Kafka’s novella into a circus play. What emerges is a societal critique on how we treat the vulnerable, how our worth in a capitalistic society is measured by our capacity to contribute financially and how we evolve as people.
A whole range of artists will be working in our venues throughout 2022. Take a glimpse into the exciting projects these artists are working on, from circus to music, from multi-media to absurdist theatre.
Catherine McKinnon
Catherine McKinnon is an award-winning writer of novels and plays. Her most recent novel, Storyland was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award.

FRUMPUS
Fri 4 Nov, 7.30pm Sat 5 Nov, 3pm & 7.30pm
Frumpus developed from the rich and anarchic Sydney performance scene of the early 1990s. The collaborative practice of performance artists and comedians Cheryle Moore, Lenny Ann Low and Stephanie Hart, Frumpus explore provocative, grotesque and punctured ideals of female perfection. Their new work Landed navigates the world of luxury travel and obscene excess via physical humour and skewed imagery and soundbites from TV, film and advertising, upending choreographed themes from Benny Hill to Alan Watts, Picnic at Hanging Rock to Gilligan’s Island, Landed travels into terrifying yet comforting fantasy.

The night where all creative endeavors take the stage! Made From Scratch is a multi-artform performance night offering artists space and support to test new ideas in front of a live audience. Here, experimentation is key. The beauty is you get to experience a little bit of everything.
