Potentia

Potentia represents the capstone of education and training in performance making. This carefully curated event showcases the future of Australian theatre through a collection of performances ranging from fully-formed short plays, to work-in-progress showings and staged readings.

2020 unleashed plenty of challenges for our graduating Drama students but, ultimately, failed to quell the fighting spirit of our final-year creatives.

Mad Lib

with Vanessa Balanay, Macarra Berthaly-Martyn, Sarrah Esser, Jack Jowsey and Brooke Reilly

We don't want to find the answer to anger, it's not something to be solved. We are acknowledging anger, accepting it, mapping it out. We are asking the questions and filling the blanks because no one else is.
