synopsis

PLAYLIST is a compelling dance-theatre work exploring the state of feminisms in pop culture and music today. Full of suburban dreams and pop star fantasies, it is a call to action about the critical issues of our times.

Living in the #MeToo world, PLAYLIST explores the experiences, ideas and power of young women and asks, ‘who is going to shape the future for women in Australia?’

there are constant shifts of mood negotiated with artistry and performance skill ★★★★½ Reviews by Judith

an extraordinarily well-rehearsed cast takes us through an entirely unpretentious theatrical exploration of a modern feminism, one that is useful today, for all Australians Suzy Goes See

although each performer’s experiences are completely unique, there is a powerful cohesion in the group, reinforced by Larissa McGowan’s mesmerising choreography Theatre Travels

there is equal power found in quiet moments of vulnerability like…the solace Tasha O’Brien finds for a broken heart Night Writes

electrifying and every synonym thereof Sydney Arts Guide
