It's a feeling, not a place.

Knock knock, Niina marni, ding dong. Welcome.

A door is a portal to imagination, and you have the key. Join two friends on an extraordinary journey to dream worlds, where up is down, tiny is huge and the impossible is made possible. Each time the door opens a new world emerges.

An Alice in Wonderland style adventure through a child’s mind, Home bursts from the stage and into the audience. Meet mythical creatures, hear secret thoughts, and see your drawings brought to life in this immersive theatrical experience.Wondrous, inventive, and bold, this Patch Theatre and Restless Dance Theatre collaboration explores the marvel of imagination and what it means to belong.

Restless Dance Theatre creates and presents loud, strong and original dance theatre nationally and internationally, that is collaboratively devised, inclusive and informed by disability. Restless artists invigorate, influence and diversify Australian dance.
