'An original, poignant comedy that flips an ordinary day in a chain restaurant, and propels us into the fantasies of its protagonists.

'Fast Food looks at the gig economy through the lives of five people just trying to dream of something better. Some are there by choice, others just haven’t figured out what else they should be doing. Life starts to take on a new meaning when hands are busy … and hearts and minds begin to wander.'

''So there’s this family having dinner in a shitty house. And one of them is Xan.’

'A small town in the middle of nowhere. A family is talking about everything and anything except what’s really going on. Through fantasy and hyperrealism, desert, 6:29pm ponders if it’s possible to ever truly know someone you love.'

'Today, when a 16 year old wants to know something about sex – they just Google it.

'F. navigates how teenagers learn about sex and sexuality in 2016 through a dense and stimulating digital landscape— tinder, sexting, vlogs, memes, instant gratification and online personas.

'Through a combination of anonymous online surveys, candid conversations and gutsy improvisations, Riot Stage worked with a group of 11 teenagers (15 – 19 year olds) to navigate the topics that have informed the creation of F. including porn, masturbation, consent, gender, kinks and the pressures of a media-saturated world.

'A fictionalised presentation grounded on very real issues, F. mirrors the internet – it's an overload of information designed for short attention spans – where five minutes is way too long and content is repeated, adapted and transformed again and again.

'The new work is spring board from Frank Wedekin's classic Spring Awakening, which examined the ramification of sexual oppression at the turn of the century, and re-examining the same issues in a contemporary setting. Today's young people are not faced with a lack of information but an over-saturation of information, opinions and media influences. ' (Production summary)

'A sitcom-reject, set in cyberspace, Virgins & Cowboys is a play about a 20-something dude stuck in a dead-end job who meets two women online, both of whom are virgins. As he sets out on a bizarre self-assigned mission to ‘be the one who…’, the internet, the past, the future, and the stage smash together and everything crumbles around him. This twisted and timely premise is used to examine a demographic of people spat out of the other end of the information age—those in a futile and relentless pursuit of happiness.'

'Two cultures collide as the now infamous story of Azaria Chamberlain is reinvented in a bold, contemporary work, that resonates as strongly as it did 30-years ago. Looking beyond the bare facts of the story, "The Rock" delves into the mythical realms of the Australian land and asks the question "what happens when the natural order of life gets messed up?"

Contemporary dance forms, such as Butoh, Pitjantjatjara language, text and physical theatre combine to move through different worlds, laws, cultures and faiths and tell this epic story of the desert, persecution and a lost child.

Debris floats eerily, unable to sink in and disintegrate; it lands only to pick up again. Days and nights shift erratically to scold and freeze with her fevers and chills. Madness creeps in from those memories, those nightmares that aren't quite clear. Wings are clipped and birds are caged against their will. And still she has not been found...'
