The Nightline Phoneline Launch

Are you a night owl, insomniac, shift-worker or dreamer? We’re collecting late-night phone messages for a creative audio project about the city at night and would love to hear what’s keeping you awake.

UTP is super excited to be working with theatre director Roslyn Oades and sound artist Bob Scott to present the next edition of The Nightline in 2020.

You can call and leave a message on 0457 910 843 or leave a voice recording via our website.

Bilingual Kids' Art Lab Callout

We’re co-producing the Bilingual Kids’ Arts Lab with Arab Theatre Studio. Together, we’re creating a space to host an intensive arts lab with professional artists and young people from an Arabic speaking background during the October school holidays. Kids can experiment with language, and play with ideas across different art forms.

Expression of interest closes on Friday 6th September.
