Antipodes Theatre Company presents
FESTIVAL OF THE UNSEEN 2023
SHOWCASING NEW WORK AND BOLD IDEAS
Cameron Steens - Producer
Antipodes Theatre Company is excited to present our first ever pop-up festival for new work and bold ideas. Festival of the Unseen will feature new work, open mic nights and one-night-only performances over three weekends of entertainment.
Over the course of three weeks, I spearheaded the production of nine events, prioritizing the creation of new work. My responsibilities encompassed marketing, website design, casting, coordinating sign-ups, ticket holders, and bar and venue management.
Unsung, a concert where performers sing from roles they would not traditionally be cast in
A staged reading of The Humans, a Victorian premiere featuring cast members from our planned production and showcasing the work of our design team
Winter Lab Showcase, featuring excerpts from projects that have gone through our Winter Lab program for new work
Visual Arts Exhibition - “Visions from Lockdowns” by Amelia Shepherd.
Sloshed Shakespeare, exactly what it sounds like!
Play in a Day, an evening showcasing 10-minute plays and musicals that were written in 24 hours
Spotlight Series, open mic variety nights for writers, singers and comedians
Workshops on applying for our upcoming Winter Lab in June, creating new work, inclusion and equity in the performing arts, and more!
