We Built This City concluded its UK tour on a high note - performing at London's National Theatre. Thanks to LIFT and Watch This Space festivals for inviting us over. Executive Producer, Simon Abrahams spoke on a panel at the Institute for Contemporary Art in London. Great discussions and good times for all. Our touring team had an amazing time and are currently adjusting back to Melbourne’s time zone.

Join Keira and Justine in Muckheap at Federation Square this week until Friday 9 July. Presented as part of Puppets @ Fed Square, a FREE school holiday program. Various times - see ’Coming Soon’ section on the right.

Muckheap is a fantastically messy tale of two people cleaning out their shed. But their junk is too interesting, useful or full of memories to throw out. As memories and characters take over, audiences are swept up into a storytelling frenzy. This show invites children to become their own story makers. Muckheap has toured to festivals and schools since 2001 and is enjoyed heartily by adults and kids alike.
