GIANT | Critical Performance Studies at Monash University
Production Manager
Created by Cassandra Fumi and James Jackson in collaboration with students from Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance
A gathering of young adults watch as a giant falls from the sky. A live performance that combines movement, history, and collective action. This wild new devised work explores how a redistribution of size allows us all to come to terms with our own place in society, whether we are big or small. Bold design, big ideas, and the guts of a generation shaped by a broken world come together to deliver you a GIANT.

PARADISE LOST | Bloomshed
Production Manager
Adam and Eve are really digging Paradise. They’re happy, super happy in their airtight bubbleland. There’s no judgement here. No shame. It’s the perfect place for some relentless fornication.
But nothing this good lasts long.
Satan’s sick of the cherubs getting stuck in the ventilation shafts. He tries to complain but God chucks him out. In hell, a napalm covered wonderland, Satan hatches a master plan. And so the fall begins.

The Market Is A Wind Up Toy | Bloomshed
Producer
In the highest tower on the highest hill in the richest country in the world™ the five most powerful IKEA executives are enjoying the fruits of their labour. Their flat packed furniture has spread across the world. They have revolutionised what it means to be HUMAN, what it is to be FREE. They are the Gentlemen of the Enlightenment. Then the market collapses. The GOLDEN BULL enters ready to explode his brains all over the skyscraper windows. It’s the end of the world sale. All things reduced to clear. Time to take stock of what we have and flog it till it stops breathing.

What advice do the dead have for the living? You’re about to find out.
