Gasworks Arts Park is just three kilometres from the CBD, situated near the beach in Albert Park, Melbourne, on the site of the former South Melbourne Gas Plant.

We respectfully acknowledge the Yalukit Willam Clan of the Boon Wurrung as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Gasworks Arts Park is located. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past, present and future.

WELCOME

TAMARA JUNGWIRTH DIRECTOR & CEO

MARISA CESARIO PROGRAMMING CO-ORDINATOR

At Gasworks Arts Park we strive to discover and develop new and independent artists so that they have a home base to perform and exhibit year after year, building their profile and acclaim with audiences.

I have the great privilege and responsibility of helping to curate our performing arts offering at Gasworks Arts Park. It is with much passion that I invite you to engage with our 2020 season.

For all our visitors we aim to provide a special gathering place where people can forge social and personal connections through the sharing and enjoyment of art in its many forms.

In 2020 we are proud to bring to Port Phillip and to Melbourne a sparkling array of fresh performances, exhibitions, markets, workshops and other cultural events. We’d like to welcome you here often and invite you to try some of our many different events. Why not sign up for one of our open participation exhibitions, book into a class, see a show or snap up one of our new 2020 Gold Cards where for only $75 you can enjoy invitations to special events and a 20% discount on all tickets all year.

Join us in 2020 to meet with friends, discover something new, or to refresh and rejuvenate at our urban oasis, surrounded by art and nature.

Live art offers a shared experience that I believe has the potential to unite and forge connections between us. The makers behind the art we enjoy hold the unique power to act as a bridge, embracing what makes us alike and different.

I challenge you to try something new in 2020, perhaps from a selection of these program highlights:

Rebel brings glam rock and circus together, revelling in David Bowie’s body of work and an aesthetic that inspired generations. The Best and Fairest brings Australian sportswomen’s inspiring personal stories to life on stage. You & I celebrates a loving relationship between two men using acrobatics, trapeze and dance – this Melbourne exclusive is a must-see.

Venture behind our red brick walls and come together.

Seek and find a sense of community, unwind, escape and discover the unexpected.

Bring your partner, friends and family for fresh, vibrant and moving live performance.

MOVING PARTS

HARD TO REACH PLACES ANNA LUMB “... the most well-integrated, and most personal, work I’ve seen from an individual circus artist – an autobiographical solo show that mingles theatre, clowning, music and a killer hoop routine with infectious energy, commanding presence and the lightest of comic touches”

A day in a woman’s life is played out nonsequentially as she navigates the challenges of parenting, relationships, show business, and the unrealistic expectations she places on herself and others.

Combining circus, movement, text and sound in a darkly humorous and irreverent performance, Hard To Reach Places draws from personal insight into one person’s daily experiences and the chaos that ensues from some questionable life choices.

The Age This production coincides with and celebrates International Women’s Day, 8 March

REBEL HIGHWIRE ENTERTAINMENT Rebel is a live circus rock tribute to the original rebel, David Bowie. Stage dive into the mosh pit for a night of live music, glittering glam rock, phenomenal acrobatics, breathtaking aerials and a spectacular heart-stopping sideshow. Live music, combined with circus and comedy, brings David Bowie’s incredible 50 year career to life.

MOVING PARTS

THE SAPPHIRES WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY TONY BRIGGS

“The Sapphires is a play about fulfilling dreams and challenging stereotypes. It is a play about hope.”

Kate Herbert, The Herald Sun

Four young Aboriginal women from regional Australia, who like singing country music, suddenly get the chance to change their tune and their lives. Wearing sequins and armed only with microphones, they find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War.

The Sapphires written and directed by Tony Briggs is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of Briggs’ mother. This is the incredible journey of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing classic soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval. It is an energetic, fun and engaging play that affirms life and the realisation of dreams.

18 - 20 JUNE GASWORKS THEATRE 7

MOVING PARTS

29 JULY - 8 AUGUST STUDIO THEATRE 8

BACH BY CANDLELIGHT CHRIS HOWLETT

“dangerously exposed but [met] every challenge thrillingly…”

The Age

Illuminated only by a circle of candles, Chris Howlett performs Bach’s most recognised cello suites in an intimate and evocative recital. Bach by Candlelight is a performance that verges on the sublime. The minimalism and simplicity of candlelight and flickering shadows enhances Howlett’s performance of arguably the most famous solo cello works ever written. Throughout the journey, Chris shares insight into the history of Bach, the suites and the challenges of performing them.

“The circus skills have a high wow factor… Physical prowess is accompanied by lashings of eye candy, inventive erotic clowning and rambunctious hijinks…”

PREMIERE AT GASWORKS

AFTER CATACLYSM OSCAR SPLIT FOCUS

NORBURY PRODUCTIONS

How can one person make a difference against the weight of the world?

In April 1895, playwright Oscar Wilde was found guilty of gross indecency and with his sentence came a worldwide scandal. But, what of his wife? What of his two children?

Oscar’s trial left his family bankrupt, homeless and friendless. After Oscar tells the story of Mrs. Constance Holland, the wife of Oscar Wilde, who fled to the continent hoping to create a new life for herself and her children.

Cataclysm is a gritty and disarming circus work of dynamic aerials and contemporary dance.

Featuring some of Australia’s up and coming circus talent, these acrobats pulsate on stage with electrifying skills including aerial straps, acrobatic tumbling, roue Cyr and fast-paced manipulation, all set to an eclectic soundtrack.

After Oscar is a new play being presented as part of the Premiere at Gasworks season, written by Verity Norbury and produced by the team at Norbury Productions.

This production was made possible by the generous support from the Hand 2 Hand Incentive.
