One show down. We had a stellar opening night. But don’t worry if you missed it. You still have a chance to see the stories of survivors translated to the stage. Ticket link in bio

Last but not least we have Alia, part of our ‘Fracture’ cast.

Alia is in her third year studying Theatre and History at Victoria, and ‘Fracture’ is her first show in Wellington since moving here from Tauranga in 2018. The show combines Alia's two loves and she was ecstatic at the opportunity to incorporate history into performance. Devising and physical theatre are where Alia feels most at home, so she has loved using these forms as a mode of storytelling and navigating verbatim theatre.

Today marks the 89th anniversary of the Napier earthquake. At 10:47am February 3rd 1931 New Zealand changed forever. Time can turn individuals into statistics but 'Fracture' captures the feeling of that tragedy for five people using their real words, their personal stories.

Scott is part of the design team for ‘Fracture’

Next up, we have Scott Maxim! Scott is the other half of our fantastic set design team and is nearing the end of his Theatre and Psychology degree. His passion for scenography and particular interest in world building has accumulated from several different projects ranging from a production of “The Tempest” to “Te Puna Hipi”. So far, Scott has been both compelled and challenged by the content of this project, and he feels that working with a more abstract design has been an invaluable experience for cultivating his skills in this industry.
(actually written by the other half of the set team, the fabulous, beautiful and EXCELLENT Brooke Soulsby, the bees knees).

Revena is the stage manager for ‘Fracture’

Meet Revena, our only mostly sleep deprived stage manager. Already having some experience in the game, they were excited by the new challenges managing a devised piece would bring. Revena was initially drawn to this work as they loved the idea of using the stage to realise and reform the stories of our past, exploring the history that created our county as it is today. They saw in it the potential to create a truly memorable and beautiful work out a moment of such tragedy. They are also co-founder of Duct Taped On, and are currently co-directing the Fringe show ‘Saltwater Bath’.

Rebekah is part of the design team for ‘Fracture’

Rebekah has been working super hard on the lighting design for Fracture as well as doing some graphic design work, making the poster and company logo. She has completed three years of her theatre major at Victoria University where she got to work on some marketing work and lighting design. You will also be able to find Rebekah amongst the cast of ‘The Party’ where she has been having a fantastically fun time with Loose Unit. Working on ‘Fracture’ means a lot to Rebekah, coming from Christchurch she has a very real understanding of the severe impact that earthquakes can have on people and she is making it her top priority to create a lighting design for the show that is reverent and respectful.
