Rebus

Rebus Theatre for social change. Rebus is a member of Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres.

Rebus Theatre is made up of people with and without disabilities, developing creative performance projects, running theatre classes for people with and without disabilities, as well as delivering workplace training by performing scenarios based on the actors' lived experiences of discrimination and stigma. For the latter Rebus uses “forum theatre” which is a format allowing participants to inter

act with the actors and practise real life skills for the work place in a dignified, entertaining and non-threatening atmosphere.

Acting Out: On Screen is in STUN Magazine

STUN recently sat down with Rebus Programs Coordinator Amy Orman and director Oliver Levi-Malouf to talk about Acting Out, the young creatives at the centre of the program and what’s ahead for its sixth year.

At the heart of Acting Out is something pretty simple: young people are given the space, support and creative tools to make work that’s genuinely theirs.

As Amy puts it:

“The teens come to the table with their own creative ideas. They’re in charge of what they want to do.”

A big thank you to STUN Magazine for taking the time to share the story of the program.

And if Acting Out sounds like something you or a young person you know would love, enrolments for our October school holiday program are now open.

Something is changing at Rebus… 👀

You might start noticing things looking a little different around here.

We’ve been working behind the scenes on the next chapter of Rebus Theatre — and we’re almost ready to share it with you.

For now, here’s your first little glimpse.

Working in the creative industry can be tough…

and we don’t always talk about it.

Long rehearsals, late nights, uncertainty and the emotional investment that comes with creative work can take a lot out of us.

But resilience isn’t about simply pushing through.

Rebus Theatre’s Resilience Workshops are a five-part series for performers, community artists and facilitators to explore practical ways of supporting themselves and creating more sustainable creative practices.

Across the series, participants will explore grounding techniques, performance preparation, vocal care, self-care and holding space for others, alongside opportunities to connect and reflect with other creatives.

The first workshop starts tomorrow!

Wednesdays from 12 August
5:30pm–7pm
Five-part workshop series
Gorman Arts Centre, Ralph Wilson Theatre

There’s still time to join us.

Working in the creative industry can be incredibly rewarding. But it can also be demanding.

Long rehearsals. Emotional performances. Supporting others. Navigating uncertainty. Creative work asks a lot of us.

That’s why Rebus Theatre has created the Resilience Workshops, a five-part workshop series designed specifically for performers, community artists and facilitators.

Together with Koko Shie and Lucien Simon, you’ll explore practical tools to help you, build resilience in your creative practice, connect with other artists and facilitators, develop grounding and self-care techniques, sustain your creativity without running on empty.

Whether you’re early in your career or have been working in the arts for years, these workshops offer a space to pause, reflect and invest in yourself.

Starts Wednesday 12 August
5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Ralph Wilson Theatre, Gorman Arts Centre, Braddon

Places are limited. Secure your spot via the link in our bio.

Every story deserves to be heard.

As part of Homelessness Week, we’re sharing a preview of Kollene’s ABC interview.

Kollene is one of the performers in Tent City, a production created through listening to people with lived experience of homelessness and those working across the homelessness sector.

Her story is a powerful reminder that behind every conversation about homelessness is a person, a lived experience and a voice that deserves to be heard.

This is just a preview. We’ll be sharing the full interview soon, so keep an eye on our page.

In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you.

What part of Kollene’s story resonated with you the most?

Share this post to help amplify lived experience and keep these important conversations going.
