CALAMITY PRACTICE

About Calamity Practice

Calamity Practice is a new theatre company formed by three theatre workers who share a common interest in the development and production of new Australian plays. 

​

We're interested in creating works that experiment with form and content and eschew conventional narrative structures.  We aim to bring together a mix of emerging and established creatives with a strong emphasis on skill development and establishing professional connections and networks.
