‘Your Stories’ a performance in Frankston
We’ve just had a wonderful night performing at Cube37 in Frankston. It was great to return to the Mornington Peninsula/ Bayside area again this year and hear some more community stories. We heard about a courageous fat cat stuck in a roof for four days; a writer and the story that literally exploded from her page; an ex-firefighter who found himself protecting his parents and their property on Black Saturday; a mother carried to hospital by a paramedic and a dog-catcher; and a skilled Chinese migrant struggling to pass Australia’s immigration tests. A night of great variety – full of humour, heart and humanity.
The comments below are some of the responses from the audience survey forms.
Ian hosted awesomely, the small tight knit theatre was warm & cozy. Felt humanitariumly connected. Well done.
Spontaneous, interesting & invigorating. I would love to be a part of something so originally wonderful. Well done guys!
I found it amazing how the cast so accurately depicted both the scene & emotion of the story.
I wasn't sure what to expect but love all aspects/genres of theatre. I was amazed by the stories & how the actors responded with deep emotion as well as the playback aspect. Much to think about.
I like that you didn't have to be involved if you didn't want to.
It was like being with friends and sharing stories.
Excellent / poignant & funny plus many other emotions.
It is really exciting
I loved the creativity – ability to turn a story into a show
learnt a lot, felt empathy for people.
Interesting. Good concept. Liked the longer stories best. Some sort of icebreaker activity would be good.
Wonderful. Can only improve with audience – players were spot on, and audience was also fun. Would have liked a little grit – politics perhaps/ immigration just opened the can… was important to warm up with "weather", but maybe too long, not sure (so good!)
What did you like the most? – The listening ability.
What could have been better? – Going and trusting intuition without apology.
It was funny to see my story come to life. Nothing could have been better. Well done. You guys were amazing.
I liked the longer stories, particularly the light hearted ones.
It was great! Thank you for an enjoyable evening. I salute the genius of the actors in portraying the stories so well, and for playing up the details.
Being 'warm' – awesome was just 'me'. Captured the whole thing, it was great.
Fireman – the calling. Teary & moved by a story I had forgotten, a chance shirt opened it up!
Funny, Intelligent, Entertaining
Fantastic! Actors, conductor & musicians were all incredible! Loved the fireman's story 🙂
The cast's ability to improvise was brilliant.
Really enjoyed it.
Stories flowed.
