Negative Energy Inc.

Theatre Works and Ash Flanders present

Negative Energy Inc.

Aren’t you tired of being positive?

If you're not angry, you're not paying attention. Angry homosexualist Ash Flanders takes no prisoners in this petty, unwarranted attack on the modern world. Accompanied by pianist and actual 'talent' Dave Barclay, Ash will speak, sing and mince in a desperate attempt to prove life is an exhausting and thankless task. Think Jean-Paul Satre, with a 30-inch waist...and a Cher wig.

"Ash Flanders doesn't miss a beat" - The Herald Sun

"…if you love the likes of Taylor Mac and John Cameron Mitchell and iOTA, you'll love Ash Flanders. Don't regret missing a dose of this wonderful negativity." - Aussietheatre.com

The Year of Magical Wanking

THISPOPBABY and Theatre Works present

The Year of Magical Wanking
Written and performed by Neil Watkins

"THISISPOPBABY are not so much cutting edge, as creators of a whole new edge in itself." - The Sunday Tribune

Neil Watkins has wanked more than is healthy...allegedly. One of Ireland’s most exciting artists and incendiary performers; Neil is a force of nature, a maverick, a 33-year old homosexual with a Jesus complex. On orders from heaven, this is Neil’s journey through the wilderness of queerness; from Catholic Ireland to the cruising bars of the world, from suburban Head Shops to Native American ceremonies.

Named as Queer Notions 2010 Festival Highlight by The Irish Times, and with a critically acclaimed sold-out season in the Dublin Fringe Festival, this is a brave and heartbreaking exploration of porn addiction, destructive sexual behaviour, Catholic guilt and family heartbreak. Written in hypnotic verse; it is both a profound personal journey and a furious state of the nation address.

“Truthful, heartfelt and immediately identifiable… astonishingly brave.” - The Irish Times

** This production contains strong language and adult content: explicit sexual and drug references. Strictly an over 18s event.

Circus Oz Speigeltent, Cnr Waterfront Way & Docklands Dr, Docklands, VIC, Australia
John Henry presents Crack a Fat Circus

"...what else can all those muscles do?"

Inverted harmonica tunes, guts, and mongrel dogs...

Direct from Brazil, with a critically acclaimed Sydney season under their belt, Ruby & Sharon (Cirque du Soleil, Circo Medrano, Circus Knie, Circus Oz) are joined by some of Melbourne's most illustrious and radical performers. Together, these guys are the acoustic guitar of circus - tender, gritty, confronting. Real people with unreal stories.

John Henry will seduce you with circus to make your assumptions quake and your hopes sing. Feminine? Masculine? Strong? Sultry? Vulnerable? Culture-vulture? Mountain recluse? What is it to face your own identity? A delectable circus experience at the legendary Circus Oz Speigeltent, Docklands. Drink & music afterwards.

"Insanely Fabulous" -Linda Mickleborough, circus Oz CEO
"Muscular, Intense, Smart, Death-defying, drop-dead-sexy" -Mike Finch, director, Circus Oz
