DisColourNation

So excited for Union House Theatre Awards 2017! Romeo Is Not The Only Fruit knocking it out of the park for some sweet nominations on Most Outstanding New Work and Performance in a Musical, Most Outstanding Lighting, Set Design and Band/Musical Director, Best Access integrated into Design, Audience Engagement/Impact, and a Development Award! 😍😍 Who knew a brand new satirical original musical led by q***r women-of-colour could be so snazzy? 🍒🥑🍇

Thanks Union House Theatre for the love, we're so so so proud of our team. Congratulations on everyone's nominations, it's great to be amongst absolute gems.

We took over the Union House Theatre Instagram for opening night!! You have less than 24 hours to catch our adorable Instastory 😉😁💃

Reminder this is happening on Thursday! Please make it if you can, we wanna make art FOR people of colour BY people of colour

CALLOUT FOR PEOPLE OF COLOUR (Melbourne) TO SHARE THEIR STORIES*

DisColourNation is currently working on a v2 of their highly acclaimed, super successful run of The Unbearable Whiteness of Being (a musical theatre exploration of systematic racism in student theatre) and would love to have your input! We would love to invite you to come by the University of Melbourne for a chat, solidarity, and great laughs while we work on writing new material that encompasses the great diversity of all people of colour regardless of background. We are especially interested in exploring the intersections of oppressed identities and want to reach out to our q***r, trans, and disabled friends.
This will be an autonomous event.

DETAILS:
Where: University of Melbourne Graham Cornish A, lvl 2 Union House
When: 11am -1:30pm, 1st December
Who are we: We are a collective of People of Colour who are sick of the structural racism present in student (and amateur, and professional) theatre.
Why: Because you're worth it ;)

OPTIONAL:
After this session we will work on writing and developing new material for our show. We would like to extend the invitation for people to join us in the creation of this work as devisors/actors etc. If this interests you, we will be continuing our work after a short lunch break and fill you in on what this will entail.

*We acknowledge that the land on which we meet is the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to their elders past, present, and future and acknowledge that this land was never ceded.
