Salon Series
Thursday 22 June 5:45pm for 6:15pm start
The Women’s Club presents the Salon Series; a consolidated program of events presenting topics and speakers from the arts and culture, media, justice and democracy, politics and science. The format is sit-down cabaret style and a light supper is provided.
In partnership with Belvoir St Theatre, TWC is excited to present the next instalment of the Salon Series on the intersectionality of art and activism, featuring Belvoir’s Resident Director Carissa Licciardello. Carissa is currently directing the world premiere of Scenes from a Climate Era.
An immersive and thought-provoking production, Scenes from the Climate Era is set against the backdrop of a changing climate and captures the exhilaration, frustration, and fascination of living in interesting times.
A group of friends reminisce about the last time they took a flight, before all that came to an end. Landholders in Borneo confront western environmentalists over who owns the forest. A frog, the last of its species, starts calling for a mate, but there’s no-one to hear. A family takes to the water, needing a new home, new hope…
We are in the process of securing additional panelists from the creative industries to share their perspectives.
