STORKED
BY MYF HOCKING
Cameron Steens - Producer & Marketing ManageR
When a They and a Them love each other very much…
To have a kid, to not. There is no compromise. You can’t ignore your uterus - it’s constantly reminding you of your capacity for birth. Yuck.
Even if you wanted a kid, capitalism is ******* you in the ***.
You just got Storked.
Transitioning from active development on Storked into production, responsibilities included casting, marketing, video content, ticketing, community engagement, assisting with venue activities while continuing to provide creative feedback.
Storked is the first project that I , as the Antipodes New Work Manager, have guided through each stage of development, from its Winter Lab application to this seasons closing night. The entire process was so joyful, fulfilling and a privilege to work on such excellent material and with this amazing team.
★★★★★ "hilarious, devastating and ultimately truthful" "I always find it impressive how you can dive so deep into a topic and really strike a chord but do so whilst still making the audience laugh, which Storked pulled off effortlessly" - What's The Show
★★★★ "Storked is an engaging piece of queer theatre...impressive and memorable…The cast adeptly display their ability to play multiple characters while still engaging fully with the audience." - ArtsHub
