Enjoy performances from our second year Bachelor of Acting students in their first public performance as they investigate Australian Theatre. Weaving classic and contemporary scenes into their own unique performance, students will explore what it means to be an actor in Australia today. Expect to feel all of the emotions as students portray a range of characters, relationships, and uniquely Aussie themes.

A pash is colloquial passionate embrace, and that is what the class of 2023 have done when looking at the Australian Theatre landscape from the past, present and future; they have passionately embraced where we have been, where we are, and where we are going to make an entertaining, thought-provoking, suburban quintessentially Australian production. Pash is a collision of themes, ideas, playwrights and scenes into a work that makes comment on Australian theatre in the future.

There are scenes from existing work by Australian playwrights (Patrcia Cornelius, Emma Mary Hall, Victoria Midwinter-Pitt) and new work created by students in response to the Australian theatre landscape and how they see it in 2022.

Pash will feel like a raucous night out in a suburban pub that ends with a cheeky dance floor embrace and a cheeseburger on the way home – a great night out.

Duration: 2 hours, 10 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
