Meeting Place

Meeting Place

Arts Access Australia, in partnership with Undercover Artist Festival, is bringing Australia’s annual forum on arts, culture and accessibility to Brisbane for the first time. This three-day, disability-led forum includes a dynamic mix of workshops, panel discussions and networking opportunities, and is vital for all professionals working in the arts and disability space.

Happy-Go-Wrong

Happy-Go-Wrong

Powerhouse performer Andi Snelling is in the fight of her life after a tick bite plunged her into dangerously ill health. Little does she know, she is about to orchestrate her own rescue in this award-winning physical theatre odyssey that blends clowning, storytelling and roller skates. Andi shares her ongoing plight with unflinching honesty and gut-punching comedy.

Brown Church

Brown Church

At this holy, gay altar we will witness the journeys of displacement queer liberation, and the euphoria of culture. It centres queerness as a central faith, bringing out the exuberant need to realise colonisation to destroy it. Brown Church is a theatrical spoken word and dance spectacle as served by Meanjin-based godexx Naavikaran.

Swinging and Spinning

Swinging and Spinning

Tim ‘Mac’ McCallum (The Voice Australia) and Tony ‘Dee’ Doevendans (We Are The Superhumans UK) perform all-favourite jazz and cabaret classics from Sinatra to Bublé, Nat ‘King’ Cole to Bennett.

Come fly with them as they swing and spin the night away in an intimate cabaret of song and prose.

Nerve

Nerve

Through the complex tussle of truths and commodifications of her identity, Lauren Watson asks ‘do you have the nerve?’ in a thrilling aerial theatre show.

Nerve explores the fears, triumphs and complexities of everyday living, uncovering trauma, grief, discrimination and disability identity in a high energy physical theatre and contemporary circus performance.

The No Bang Theory

The No Bang Theory

Constantly fighting against the stereotypes popular culture tells the world about autism, Oliver Hetherington-Page stages a take-down of Sheldon Cooper to set the record straight with show tunes and stories in this compelling comedy cabaret. The No Bang Theory is a musical journey from dating disasters to diagnosis through #actuallyautistic eyes.
