Get Well Circus: Development Showing

Join the artists of Get Well Circus in a gentle afternoon in-development showing as we explore trauma-informed arts practice, proudly supported by the City of Melbourne Annual Arts Grants. 

This event is a free showing to present our shared learnings culminating a 2-week residency at Circus Nexus, with the guidance and care of trauma counsellor Robin from The Hey Mate Project and Leah Filley, director, theatre-maker and all-round sweetheart. We're inviting our fellow spoonies and chronic heath community into developing conversations and best practice exploring trauma-informed arts presentation. The post-show Q&A will be recorded and shared online for at-distanced safe engagement. More information to follow!
