We are excited to announce the inaugural DARTS Inter-regional tour, hosted by JUTE. The incredible D.I.V.E. Collective will bring “Amor” to Cairns before heading to Cooktown, Julatten, and Townsville. This new touring model brings small-scale, big-hearted works to regional audiences, hosted by local theatre companies or arts organisations, and engages deeply with local artists and audiences. Come along and try something new – we know you’ll love it. Make sure you check out the information about the Masterclass attached to the show in the DARTS information below.
Dare to Dream
Our Dare to Dream team recently returned from a triumphant 5-week tour of “I Gut This Feeling.” After a brief break and some intensive rehearsals, they are back on the road for the 8-week “Back On Track” road safety tour, running until September. A special thank you to Raymond Blanco for his beautiful re-direction of the show. We couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work our dedicated team is doing. Happy travels, Dare to Dream team – we know the young people you encounter will be inspired and enriched by the project. Stay tuned for more updates from the road!
From Campfire to Stage Light Tour
Our “From Campfire to Stage Light” tour across 10 performing arts venues in regional Queensland has wrapped up with incredible success. We were met with full houses and standing ovations. David Hudson’s captivating storytelling won the hearts of audiences, from school students to older patrons, thrilling them all with tales of his journey from the campfire to some of the largest stages in the world. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful performers: David Hudson, supported by Nigel Pegrum, and Nereace Howes, and to our amazing touring crew: Pip Haupt, Tour & Stage Manager; Eben Love, Lighting & AV Technician; and Tyson Godden, Sound Operator. Your hard work and professionalism made this tour seamless and unforgettable.
Also joining the touring team was Jonas White, the first DARTS Artist-in-Residence applicant, who honed his skills in technical production. Thank you to the touring team for welcoming Jonas on the final week of the tour and supporting the development of this emerging artist.
