Bloody Brilliant
(in development)
Photography: Alex Franklin
Bloody Brilliant is an empowering play for teenagers that asks: how do we change a system that was never built for us? Set in a strict, conservative education system where there’s no access to free period products, we follow a group of teens as they unpack the silence, shame and stigma surrounding menstruation and begin their own period revolution.

This is your reminder to breathe.
Can neurodiversity be likened to the ocean, where every mind, like a whale, breathes in its own rhythm, diving into the depths of unique currents, and rising to the surface to exhale the beauty of its individuality?

Beside, 2021
BESIDE, the first Perth Festival commission in WA Youth Theatre Company’s history led a small audience of 60 gathered on the banks of the river for three acts, performed in and around the historic Peninsula Farm, one of the first farms in colonial Perth. This intimate work explored a life lived beside the river and alongside one another through a combination of storytelling, song and find-your-own-adventure.
