1 The Drill Penelope Bartlau , 2019 single work drama

'A significant local landmark, Footscray’s Drill Hall was built in 1914 as a site for compulsory military training for boys and men and has been home to Women’s Circus since 2006. THE DRILL drew on the site’s original purpose – service for WW1. This important work uncovered buried stories to explore the effects of war on communities and posed the question: what happens to human behaviour in the face of adversity?'

1 1 Leggings Are Not Pants 2012 single work drama humour

'"Leggings Are Not Pants" shows that there are no boundaries to gender identity, but there are to lycra. A pole show with a twist on the sexy, this is for anyone who has not come out as wanting to explore an inner dancer. Full of laughter, sweat, acrobatics, beauty, rocking live music and muscles, this hilarious show defies the divide between masculinity and femininity and explores being queer in today's world.'
