SHEN have been offered a unique opportunity for our student members to attend the Opera House
Friday, 20 May 2022 at 12.30pm
The team at the Opera House Creative Learning have a FREE in-progress showing of a performance they are developing called ‘After the Flood’. The performance is suitable for students in Years 2-6 (ages 7-11 of all skills and abilities) and explores themes across Science, English and Drama.
The purpose of this presentation is to have us (SHEN members) along for a preview so that the artists may trial the performance with a group of students to test the appropriateness of the content and structure of the show, and make any adjustments before the full performance season. It’s a really amazing opportunity to also have a behind the scenes look at theatre and performance in progress!!
- Capacity 30 students (maximum)
- Duration: 60 minute performance with up to 30 minutes post-performance Q+A
- Performance time: Friday 20 May 12.30 pm
- Cost: FREE
Presented by Sydney Opera House and Triage Live Art Collective
Program Overview: After the Flood
After the Flood is an immersive audio installation and workshop co-created with children. The project focuses on a story told by a group of children far into the future who tell us about a new life on the water, and the children who helped to save humanity when climate change and rising sea levels threatened cities around the world. The work is about the resilience, courage, and ingenuity of kids. It’s also a love letter to places that we’ve lost and the new ones that we’ve made.
Hello You! It’s Us. We’re speaking to you from the distant future… We don’t live on land anymore. We live on floodships now. It’s been like this for hundreds of years… We live in a place called the Southeast Reach. My grandma says it was once a great city, but now – it’s all water. We want to tell you about the children, (not us), the ones who saved the world. So get comfy. Get right under the blanket. Put your headphones on, and we’ll start the story.
