Gene Tree: Listen. Now. Again
Presented by St Martins and Corrugated Iron
​
‘Do we have to have hope to evolve?’
An ode to the planet, a call to attention, Darwin’s young people lead Darwin Fringe audiences on an interactive performance adventure through the George Brown Botanic Gardens.
Following an award-winning premiere season in Melbourne, Gene Tree: Listen. Now. Again comes to life afresh in a collaboration between two of Australia’s leading youth theatre companies, St Martins and Corrugated Iron Youth Arts, reimagined with over 50 of Darwin’s children, young people, and artists.
​
In Gene Tree, young people ask ‘impossible questions’ about evolution, adaptation and hope. Audiences are invited into small moments: feet on the grass, back against a tree, face in the wind. Music, rhythm and projections interlace with children’s stories of connection to nature, adaptation and change. Featuring Corrugated Iron’s Company C, students from Ludmilla Primary School, and Darwin Symphony Orchestra’s Young Artists, Gene Tree immerses audiences inside a chorus of children’s voices, dreaming futures together within the nooks and crannies of the Gardens.​
Term 3 Workshop Enrolments Open Now
Corrugated Iron has gathered some of Australia’s leading theatre makers, directors, circus artists, playwrights and film makers to deliver a workshop program that will ignite creativity in young people and spark the imagination of all.
Whether it be a first introduction to theatre for a 4-year-old or the training of a highly skilled aerial artist at 18, the workshop program is designed to meet the broad needs of young and emerging artists at any skill level or experience.
Participants will DISCOVER the worlds of theatre and circus for the first time, choose to work on their skills to DEVELOP their artistry, or work towards an outcome and PRESENT to an audience. ​​
