Routes/Worlds
WHEN: Monday 14th - Saturday 19th of July 2025
WHERE: 320 George Street, Ōtepoti

Dunedin Dream Brokerage presents Routes/Worlds by Choreographer Carol Brown (Caroline Plummer Fellow in Community Dance) and composer Simon Eastwood (Mozart Fellow), and video artist Erica Sklenars.

Routes/Worlds is a week long residency held at 320 George Street, (formerly The Company of Strangers Shop) opening on Monday 14 July - Saturday 19th July.

Routes/Worlds asks the question,
How might alternative routes/worlds open us to trans-human, trans-species coexistence?

During the week they will address this question using movement research, sonic practices, in situ provocations, deep listening and collaborative exchange. The residency invites dancing-with, thinking-with and listening-with the non-human.

Morning eco-somatic warm-ups take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 10.30-11.30am and will be led by Carol. The afternoons 2-7pm will be focused on collaborative ecopoetic scores for music, dance and projected image created by Erica Sklenars.

Saturday 20th July 12 - 7pm will culminate in an Open Studio where the resonances of the week will be shared with the public.

Hic Sunt Dracones (HSD) Productions presents THE NEUROSPICE GIRLS, by Lizzie Tollemache.
WHEN: 23-27 July 7:30pm on 23 / 24 / 25 / 26 July; 3pm matinees Sat 26 & Sun 27 July
WHERE: 24 Filleul Street, Dunedin

Dunedin Dream Brokerage is delighted to support Hic Sunt Dracones (HSD) Productions as they present THE NEUROSPICE GIRLS, by Lizzie Tollemache. HSD is a local professional theatre company, led by veteran practitioners Kim and Matthew Morgan.

THE NEUROSPICE GIRLS (licensed by Playmarket) is an exciting new play showcasing Dunedin's professional theatre artists, and incubating neurospicy talent. While the script was developed in other cities around Aotearoa, this will be the first full production of one of NZ's hottest new plays — and tailored to our ND local artists and their stories. 

THE NEUROSPICE GIRLS is a “funny and ferocious neurodivergent odyssey, from gut-punching denial to celebration ... and how it's extremely annoying that there's a bit more to healing than getting a diagnosis, waving round a crystal, and overusing the word ‘boundaries.’”

HSD is proudly auspiced by Stage South Charitable Trust, which connects and advocates for Dunedin's professional theatre artists.

Playwright and star Lizzie Tollemache — an internationally known theatre maker, MC, and stuntwoman — pitches it as “A rallying cry. 90’s nostalgia. Embracing of the messy bits in all of us.”

CAST: and featuring Mārama Grant, Lexie Tomlinson, Ellie Swann and Destiny Carvell.
