If entering the venue from Stanley Street, head on out to the back courtyard, which looks out to Jacob Lane, and up the tall flight of stairs on the back of the building to the upstairs balcony. Pop through the door on the left and follow the sounds of voices down the corridor around to the second loft space!
Confused? Say hello to the bar staff inside, who will be able to direct you easily up to the studio.

THE LAND
this event takes place in Meanjin/Magandjin, in a venue co-created on the lands of the Yagera and Turrbal people.
sovereignty over this land was never ceded. it always was & always will be.
we pay respects to elders past, present and emerging, and vow to work with and listen to First Nations people in efforts towards reconciliation.
