2/3 of the way through our Brave New World season: 4 plays completed and 2 to go. The season so far has seen our young performers exhibit real bravery in their authentic response to the AI world. They approached it with poignancy and a hint of humor. These are their words, ideas and stories. Theyâve spent the past 9 months shaping these plays and we couldnât be more proud of their accomplishments. Come see the last two plays of the season: Thursday 28th November 7pm at Helensvale Cultural Centre and Sunday 1st December at North Shore Community Centre.
Tickets available in our bio link on instagram or via the ticket tab on our website. #bravenewworld #yearofcourage #goattracktheatre #youththeatre #youthensemble #fasttrackproduction

Culture is KING! You may think that skill will get you through but in fact, it's culture that will win the race every day of the week.

2017 Goat Track Theatre worked with the Yugambeh Language Museum to create "The Bunyip Story" which was a story that reflected the shared stories of the bunyip from our local area.
Charlie is brave and adventurous and he would gladly spend every day exploring the local creek instead of going to school. Isabella, by contrast loves the world of books. She is diligent, hardworking and hates dirt. The two of them have nothing in common until they are teamed up at school to deliver a presentation on âŚBunyips.
Isabella doesnât believe in Bunyips but she diligently researches the mysterious creature at the local library and on the internet, all the same. Meanwhile, Charlie speaks with his elders and secretly explores the local waterhole in the hope that he might just catch an elusive glimpse of the creature and prove its existence once and for all.
Their research will take then on a rollicking adventure through the libraries, historical records and waterholes in the area. This beautiful piece of theatre for primary school audiences explores Bunyip Stories from across Scenic Rim and the Gold Coast. It shares stories of these guardians of our local waterways and the lessons they have taught the Indigenous people of the Yugambeh Region.
This project has been conceived with the assistance of stories collected from elders across the Yugambeh Language region and historical records â in many ways the journey to create this piece of work is remarkably similar to that of Charlie and Isabella â piecing stories together bit by bit in order to maybe just get a peak at this mysterious creature.
We proudly acknowledge the contributions of the Yugambeh Language Museum, Queensland Theatre Company, The Regional Arts Fund of Australia and Scenic Rim Regional Council in the creation of this work. #goattracktheatre #yearofcourage #thebunyipstory #theatre #naidocweek
