One Day by Melbourne Theatre Company

One Day by Melbourne Theatre Company ·

Are we already woven? What does a single day tell us about the lives of young First Nations people? And what if that one day feels larger and longer than most?

Developed as a part of Melbourne Theatre Company’s First Peoples Young Artists Program, this fresh, fierce and fabulous group of emerging artists have worked with playwright and director Nathan Maynard (Palawa) to devise their own original work set across a single day. A day that becomes a journey.

Through movement, music and spoken word these young (loud and proud) voices explore the patterns of how their environment shapes their identity and connection, pulling at the threads around us.

Join us post-show as these young artists are keen to continue the conversation with the audience in a short Q&A to share their perspectives on creating this work.
