Terra Nemo (Latin for ‘No Man’s Land’) began as a collaboration between eight senior students at the Queensland Academy for Creative Industries back in mid 2013.
It has gathered momentum, and now has around 40 members with diverse backgrounds. 2015 will mark the company’s third season and by all accounts, its biggest and boldest yet. The season consists of four shows and a short-fuse performance festival, The Chinese Room.
Terra Nemo have just launched their exciting and ambitious 2015 Season (listed below). Preceding each of these plays, Terra Nemo will hold Bare Essentials – a play briefing-cum development process, where the audience will hear pitches (from designers, writers, directors), as well as watch a scene or so from the play and give feedback on specific areas of the work.
The last item of Terra Nemo’s season is The Chinese Room– from which four play pitches will be chosen. The writer will then have a week to write a script, a week to workshop it with a director, and then a week with actors before all four plays are showcased.
Terra Nemo is to be commended for its drive, its willingness to take risks and push performance boundaries, and its commitment to providing young theatre practitioners with a platform to develop and showcase their work.
To keep an eye on Terra Nemo’s ambitious 2015 season, you can keep up to date with their Terra Nemo Facebook page, or visit the Terra Nemo Theatre Company Website.
