Public Performances – 28 & 29 Nov 2009
What stories has the Carlton Courthouse heard in it’s lifetime?
Let’s add some more.
This weekend we invite our audiences to have their own stories heard and brought to life in this beautiful theatre.
We hope you’ll join us as we continue the conversation here. Use this space to share your thoughts, describe your experience and discuss the show with other members of the audience and the ensemble.
Intimate & engaging. Stories are what connect us to each other I think. Hearing elements in other people's stories that resonate with your own makes you feel somehow not alone, and then those stories different to your own expand your heart and embrace more of the human experience.
The show had a lot of heart & soul. Lovely portrayal of the audience's stories.
Other people's stories move my story.
I liked hearing other people's stories and seeing them performed. I was very touched by your rendition of my story.
Incredibly moving, inspiring.
Magical! The ensemble was inspiring, most awesome and beautiful in their craft.
The music is so powerful & evocative.
Everything was wonderful! (although I prefer Gasworks as a theatre space 🙂 )
I liked the "survival adventure in Tasmania" story most. Glimpsing the lives of others – fascinating.
Fabulous show.
Fantastic, really surprising & interesting. I liked the autobiographical bit by the actors & the stories bit. Actors were amazing at capturing stories – very poignant.
It would be lovely to show a snapshot of the future as well.
I enjoyed the ensemble feeling of the performers
I appreciated the detailed listening the performers had to each story.
EXPRESS JOURNEY TO THE SOUL
I’ve seen your show yesterday at old courthouse.
People told their stories to all of us and then watched their story being replayed by actors.
It is very powerful way to reflect on significant bits of our life.
As show progressed I formed my own story sorting out essence of past year of my life.
I found how events of that time transformed me from how I was before to how I’m today.
I found unexpected great significance of that events.
Back at home, my friend who told her story there, shared with me her thoughts how powerful experience was to tell and be listen to and see how her story was played.
Thanks for that, it is art at its best.
I hope to be part of it again one day.
Cheers, marecki
Loved it all!!
Loved Nikki as Tony Abbott. Musicians were fantastic – particularly being impromptu.
Fabulous entertainment. moving
I loved the range of stories and the different ways they were presented, laughter, poignancy, joy, horror
The performances – all of them were great. The political story was so well done – I was worried by how it would be dealt with but you guys did a great job.
Delightful – I enjoyed the creativity & humour. Gave me opportunity to reflect on my experience.
