ANTIPODES THEATRE COMPANY
e: info@antipodestheatre.com
i: @antipodesarts | fb: /antipodesarts
Antipodes Theatre Company seeks to provide a collaborative and inclusive environment for producing independent theatre in Melbourne and beyond. Programming includes: full-length plays and musicals, cabarets, live events, year-round workshops for artists, and supporting new work and local writers through our Winter Lab and ongoing development initiatives.
Our aim is to produce challenging and enlightening work that embraces duality within the human condition. Work that looks at situations from a unique angle or exposes what it is like to step into someone else’s shoes. Antipodes was founded, in part, by New York City transplants who found themselves as close to the antipode of that location as they are ever likely to be.
Finally, Antipodes strives to maintain an inclusive and safe work space through a minimum of 50% representation – on stage and off – by women, ethnically diverse artists, people with disability, trans and non-binary people, seniors, or other members of historically or culturally marginalised communities who are not well represented on stage.
