Bleachers aren't just for sitting on.
Stories of loneliness and togetherness sit side by side in this new disability-led dance-theatre work by Sprung Ensemble — a collective of 10 d/Deaf and disabled artists from Bundjalung Country in Northern NSW.
Rooted in the artists’ lived experiences, Bleachers delves into isolation, connection, relationships, and belonging. Drawing from regional showgrounds and communal spaces, the work explores the human desire to be part of something — to sit together, to be together, to understand one another.
This visually striking production transforms a custom-built bleacher set into a living, shifting space where stories unfold and community comes alive.
Bleachers is more than a show — it's a conversation.
