Mind the Gap / Please Leave a Message
The 2018 Devised Theatre Class presents two devised performances.
Two groups began with no scripts. Through collaboration they gradually evolved stories out of the ideas that each member presented. These shows are the fruits of their labour:
Mind the Gap
Perth has been struck with a meteor that has caused a slowly growing gap to split the city in half. So what does the population of Perth do? They leave. Two roommates throw a massive ‘exodus’ party for all of their friends who are leaving (despite the gap running through the centre of their house) and what ensues is heated arguments between best friends, the discovery of true love and a dance battle to end all dance battles.
Please Leave a Message
In a society where communication is so accessible, why is it that we are so terrible at it? Please Leave A Message explores what it is to live in a contemporary society where we struggle to communicate, either face to face or on a screen. Watch as we follow three different relationships go through the motions and try to find connection in a world that lacks it, all the while trying to get someone to pick up the phone.
