The celebratory and joyous story of the first women’s cricket match in Australia.

“If they’re playing cricket, who is making the sandwiches?”

In Bendigo in 1874 two women’s teams play cricket for the very first time in Australia! Money is raised for charity, the women are praised for their sporting endeavours and then – all hell breaks loose – as the press decide (surprise, surprise) that women should stay home, know their place and sit down.

Written by Christine Davey and presented by award-winning regional theatre company – Skin of our Teeth Productions – this joyous, musical, and uplifting story explores this event and what it means for all of us. These glorious women have been lost to history, and it’s time to bring them back to centre stage where they rightfully belong.

Join us for a tale of extraordinary women doing extraordinary things and the very ordinary men who tried to stop them.

Skin of our Teeth Productions is a regional, female and disability-led theatre company celebrating diversity.

Whether your improv journey has recently begun, or you are a seasoned improviser, this workshop will power up your impro to the next level.

What do the words dynamite and dynamics have in common? The root DYNA – which means power.

Often, when people refer to POWER IMPRO they mean fast, hard, loud, and unrelentingly funny. This is definitely a powerful way to play…sometimes. But sometimes the most powerful way to play is slow, soft, silent, or poignant. Master improvisers know how to play a full range of energies and when to apply them to their characters, scenes, and the stories they tell.

In this workshop, you will learn how to build and harness your own impro superpowers to play within a dynamic range – physically, verbally, and emotionally. Whether your improv journey has recently begun, or you are a seasoned improviser, this workshop will power up your impro to the next level.
