BoilOver is an inclusive performance ensemble which aims to devise unique performances in a safe, supportive and fun environment. The ensemble creates opportunities for artists to explore their skill and creativity through a theatre setting.
Led by professional arts practitioners, members learn to develop skills and performance works over time. We also offer access to performance events and inclusive theatre festivals.
Through performance-making, our members increase their physical skills, emotional literacy, self-esteem, social networks and creativity.
Who is it for?
BoilOver is open to anyone over the age of 18 who has an interest in performing or in the work that goes on behind the scenes in the performing arts. People with an NDIS plan can join this group.
