We tour a range of productions from the highly portable to large scale productions locally, regionally and nationally from schools to major performing arts venues.

WALK THE FENCE



Rachel is very, very angry! So angry she has to keep moving or she’ll just explode! One day her street magically comes to life provoking, beguiling and helping Rachel to understand how to cope when you feel overwhelmed.

Come sit in Rachel’s street. This playful multi-disciplinary new work created by the Artistic Director of Jigsaw Theatre Company, Kate Shearer and former Artistic Director of Buzz Dance Theatre, Felicity Bott  features a stunning installation design by Kaoru Alfonso which the audience sits inside and a captivating cello score by Melanie Robinson.

Two of Australia’s boldest performers Keira Mason-Hill and Chris Palframan leap, fly, rollerblade and dance in this high energy, joyful production for 4 - 10 year olds.

“This is an education in theatre of the best kind for young children who responded with no hesitation to the subtle moods and well as plot.”     Frank McKone – The Canberra Times 5 June 2009
