1 The Time Is Now Ari Palani , Aleea Monsour , Dave Burton , 2021 single work drama

'“We will not be silenced.”

'One stage, one microphone, countless young voices demanding to be heard.

'THE TIME IN NOW is a thrilling glimpse into the future as imagined by 10 switched-on and politically savvy young Queenslanders aged 12-17, that make up La Boite’s Young Artist Company.

'Real teenagers with real conviction, spanning diverse cultures, backgrounds and political views, will make you sit up and pay attention as they advocate for a better future.

'THE TIME IS NOW gives this young citizen’s assembly a stage and a platform to deliver their first political speeches, threading dance, dialogue and surprise cameo appearances among each powerful presentation.

'The inspired performance piece, developed in collaboration with trailblazing arts organisation All The Queen’s Men and co-created by Ari Palani, Aleea Monsour and David Burton, gives voice to a generation often silenced or dismissed.

'THE TIME IS NOW is an entertaining and exhilarating exercise in the power of energy and ideas and demonstrates once and for all that children should be seen and heard.

'Welcome to the future.'

2 The Neighbourhood Todd MacDonald , Aleea Monsour , Ari Palani , 2020 single work drama

'A companion piece to La Boite’s critically acclaimed 2017 offering The Village, The Neighbourhood is an intimate story-telling experience that transports audiences across countries, borders, and oceans in search of a home; all from within the walls of the Roundhouse Theatre.

'The revelatory work tracks seven individual, real-life journeys from the experience of fleeing homelands, to seeking refuge and creating, fostering and discovering a new community (or neighbourhood) in Australia.
