Awakening Art 2022

Awakening Art depicted the story of a young outsider who accidentally discovers a gallery of opportunities.

Southern Edge Arts’ Aerial and Circus Troupe’s brought museum artifacts and familiar paintings to life in a thought provoking performance that explored ‘coming to life’, ‘growing’ and ‘changing’.

Awakening Art combined visual art, history and modern cultural concepts to show that when the right person ends up in the wrong place... they find magic!

He@rd 2021

Are you having trouble being heard? He@rd was a contemporary theatre piece that examined power and who’s voice is the loudest in community. Utilising technology and innovative staging, SEA’s Theatre Ensemble’s asked the question: “Are you listening, can you be he@rd?”

Directed By Nelson Blake
