Collingwood Underground Roller Disco

We are really excited to bring you the next instalment of the Collingwood Underground Roller Disco as part of this year's Midsumma Festival. Set in the car park of one of Collingwood's most iconic and prominent landmarks, the high rise tower is the home of the Underground Roller Disco. With skating, dancing and a games room on the programme for the day in addition to food and drink, it's an all-ages event you don't want to miss. Expect only good vibes with Le Soul and more to take you on an underground journey from soul and hip hop through to house and disco. With all your needs taken care of, the one thing to do is "push and kick" down in the roller rink. If you don't have your own skates, we have a hook up with skates for hire. 
Coming to you from the underground car park at the Collingwood commission housing, our mission is not only to put on great events, but also to break down social barriers and use the profits to invest back into the community on the estate. 
This event takes place on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Compose Queer x Queerstories

Divisi and Queerstories partner to produce Compose Queer x Queerstories. We connect 12 queer composers, some established, some emerging, with 12 queer writers to produce an anthology concert of completely new work. 
This project marks the second iteration of Divisi's Compose queer programming - workshopping and developing work by emerging queer composers to tell our stories in new ways. Although there is a thriving amateur queer music scene of community organisations and hobby musicians, there is limited opportunity for composers to express their queerness at a professional level. These programs give voice to tell stories at a professional quality of musical expression. 
Don't expect your usual, stuffy, classical music concert. 
Expect to be involved, to be moved, to commiserate and celebrate. 
Divisi Chamber Singers is a youth-led, not-for-profit organisation that supports early-career creative artists. We strive to break down established norms of classical music through commissioning and performing innovative creative works and projects. 
Queerstories, run by Maeve Marsden, has been running events for eight years all around Australia, from Sydney to Melbourne, Hobart to Shepparton, Newcastle to Brisbane, to Albury, Adelaide, Mullumbimby, Mudgee and beyond. Each event, 6 LGBTQI+ storytellers share a tale from their lives, small windows into the magnificence of the queer community, experienced live and recorded for you. 
"Precise blending of parts, even at the most demandingly close intervals, plus the bright purity of steady upper voices and the resonance of the lower voices impressed throughout." - Heather Leviston, Classic Melbourne. 
"A warm and inviting anthology, Queerstories welcomes you in with open arms and draws you into a rich conversation with some fresh and entertaining LGBTQI+ writers. Let's hope there are more volumes to come." - The AU Review

DADDY DON'T DROP THE SOAP

Brent Thorpe DADDY is back in 2025 with his new show DADDY DON'T DROP THE SOAP. Still committed to ageing disgracefully and throwing off the shackles of shame, DADDY is here to set the worst example to people young and old that he possibly can. He is paying homage to our queer past, disrupting the zeitgeist and looking forward to a fabulous future where all people live shamelessly and embrace life to its absolute fullest. DADDY says, 'You're never too old to take a pill and dance on a podium in a jockstrap.' 
'This is not just a show, it's an experience.' - DanceLife Magazine 
'He bursts out of backstage like a cum-filled cannonball. A student and prophet of gay culture at its most camp.' - Sydney Arts Guide 
'The show shoots from the hip, with acid-tongued bile and Aussie brashness at its finest, but below the surface is poignancy, vulnerability and a search for self. Like all the great performance artists, satirists and provocateurs, there is a powerful, political punch at play.' - Emerson & Ward Productions, Manchester

Day For It

Mother Peta and daughter Kelly venture into the wilderness together; one of them comes out. Hiking Victoria's Great Ocean Walk has been a long-awaited dream for recent empty-nester Peta, who is surprised that her 25-year-old dirt, camping, and spending-time-with-mum-averse daughter has agreed to join her. However, Peta's anticipation is soon overshadowed by the secret Kelly has been keeping, and it's a pretty juicy one. As they are left with nothing to do but walk, Peta must confront a reality she didn't anticipate -- and it's not the only one. 
In the world premiere of this heartfelt comedic drama, the duo navigates blisters, identity, tangled tent poles, grief, unexpected detours and an unprecedented amount of time together. Spanning six days and 100 kilometres of rugged coastline, they traverse terrain that is both painfully familiar and completely unknown, until they find themselves standing on the brink of their respective metaphorical cliffs and prepare to leap. The real challenge? Not pushing each other off. 
The spiritual offspring of 'Please Like Me' and 'Fun Home,' 'Day For It' delves into familial dynamics and queerness in a muddy, uphill journey that pays homage to the complexities of intergenerational relationships. Originally developed for Gasworks' 2024 Queer Playwriting Awards Showcase and honoured with the inaugural People's Choice Award, 'Day For It' is co-written and directed by Sally Q Davies (she/her), co-written and performed by Anna Lindstedt (she/her), and features performer Roz Hammond (she/her).

Erasing Mamhood

Explode the sex binary with dodgy musical comedy. Join Jack Brady, a bumbling academic come musical comedian, for an hour of toying with the fragile feelings of the manosphere-insecurity complex. From AUKUS to AWKASS, from gene testing to gymnastics, come get your plastic disc coated in gold plate on a nice ribbon in first place irony. 
After the one-night-only successes of God Hates Me, dispensing with the cult of capitalism and its obsession with genitals, Jack takes on the space right between the eyes of manfluencers. Who better to do this than a trans academic/comedian, who failed the family tradition by bailing out of the defence force in the 1990s? One night only, for an hour, less expensive than a pizza with a side of bodily autonomy.

Melanated in Melbourne: Live

Melanated in Melbourne chronicles the lives of co-hosts Nicole and Ri'chard, two Black Americans living in Australia, as they navigate what it means to be a person of colour in the great down under. A delightful mix of insight and humour, the podcast explores working abroad, Australian lingo, racism, culture shock, identity, heartbreak and more. Melanated in Melbourne intentionally amplifies the voices of historically disenfranchised individuals by primarily having LGBTIQA+ people of color, both local and international, come on the show to share their unique stories, with guests ranging from psychologists to drag queens. 
While this podcast was created to inform, entertain and inspire Americans of Colour, Australians and people from around the world have caught on and loved the content - and that's what makes the podcast so special: Melanated in Melbourne appeals to the human experience, regardless of origin or ethnicity. Most people can relate to the difficulty of building and maintaining friendships as adults, navigating love and the search for purpose, so they tune in for a laugh, an "aha" moment, and sometimes a good cry. Nicole and Ri'chard's dream is that this podcast will continue to educate others on the Aussie lifestyle and even encourage them to push past their comfort zones and try something similar. 
To commemorate the launch of the third season of their show, the Melanated in Melbourne team are planning to host a live podcast during Black History Month and Midsumma. This event is intended to showcase the diverse talents of some of the guests they've had on the show, engage with current listeners and broaden the podcast's reach to share their intersectional stories with the broader Victorian community.

My Queer Spiritual Entropy

You are welcomed into the soft British woodland to explore non-binary belonging through the lens of Trans Ecology. In an alive forest of live-mixed animations, improvised music and the multi-rolling of six clashing characters, you will laugh cry and identify. With child-like play, we uproot the gender-binary, meanwhile, the buds of our raw complexity blossom through the cracks. This is queer theatre that doesn't take sides but seeks unity. From the roots to the leaves - from our heads to our toes, we diversify perspectives through the unwavering force of humour, vulnerability and love. 
Holly Rowan has previously performed My Queer Spiritual Entropy in Melbourne Fringe 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024. Their one-human show has now flourished into an exciting ecosystem of collaborations, with fellow non-binary artists in Melbourne. This show will take on a whole new audio-visual life, with a message more diverse and beautiful than ever. Also, this run will include greater sensory accessibility in its performances, and live-streamed shows will be available to watch online from home.

Mystery Call

Mystery Call is a 1-to-1 conversation that is digitally delivered and connects us in community near and far. It is influenced by awareness of bodily diversities and disability cultures. It is an experience to be heard and embodied instead of being visually seen. 
The MindsEye Collective invites you to discover through acts of listening and movement: an experience of your own body, the history of our bodies and a relationship to the collective queer body. 
You can join the Mystery Call virtually wherever you are or in person with the MindsEye Collective. At an appointed time, you and your mystery call partner will engage in a supported pre-arranged online call with cameras off. Together you will be guided via conversational prompts to consider and safely share aspects of your present experience and your relationship with the spaces / places you are in. As a pair, you will select fragments of your conversation to share with the Mindseye Collective that will be woven into dance. The dances will be embodied in Naarm throughout the Midsumma Festival for anyone to witness. To end your call, you will be offered a dance that has been composed and translated from a previous pair's Mystery Call to read aloud to one another and embody if you wish. 
Mystery Call is a creation of the MindsEye collective; a Gadigal based collaboration between Alex Craig, Gabriela Green Olea and Imogen Yang. Formed in 2020, this collective is committed to creating experimental movement-based works that are inclusive of all people and engage with audience members as active participants, across time and space, geographical, virtual, systemic & social borders.

Small Acts of Resistance

The world seems hopelessly stuck, repeating the mistakes of the past. We push ever closer to self-destruction through war, climate change, capitalism, and ongoing injustice for marginalised communities. Yet, there is always hope--slivers of light shining through the cracks in the facade. 
Created by a female and gender-diverse ensemble from Women's Circus, with members in their 50s, 60s and 70s, Small Acts of Resistance explores the need for hope in a world where protest and the voices of the disenfranchised are continually ignored. Blending inspiring circus and the soulful energy of live music and spoken word, we question why the lessons of the past are seemingly forgotten and how small acts of kindness, resistance, and hope can promote change. As proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community, fighting injustice is part of our DNA, and Women's Circus has been championing women's rights and empowering people of a marginalised gender for over 30 years. 
Bringing you defying acrobalance, inspiring aerials and feats of circus, this incredible cast embraces both the gravity and joy of what it means to be alive and striving for change. Small Acts of Resistance is a poignantly humorous celebration of our community's intellect, kindness, passion, and empathy, complete with all the messiness and contradictions that make us human.

The Butcher, The Baker

You want to be a butcher? You've got to love a butcher. The Butcher, The Baker... project was originally inspired by my experiences of living with a group of women on Amazon Acres deep in the New South Wales bush in the 1970's "No men, no meat, no machines". A tale with a twist, The Butcher, The Baker... is a story of a woman who in an effort to probe the mystery of a man she is obsessed with but cannot get close to disguises herself as a male. But the plan misfires and she is left with more than a sting in her tail!!! " Cabaret at its best! " - Jonathan Marshall, Inpress " Fantastically haunting cabaret music of the Weimar period... . Keen powers of observations... seething, seamy eroticism. " - Geoffrey Milne, ABC Radio " The songs are the stand-out element, the music has an urgency to it that is alluring and the lyrics are rich in imagery " - Fiona Scott-Norman, The Age " A deft mixture: poetic monologue, some excellent dialogue and nifty, moody songs... well-structured and crafted and always with a wacky European edge to its delivery " - Steven Carroll, The Age

The Queer Kingdom: A Staged Reading

Experience the first full reading of The Queer Kingdom by Tom Ballard, winner of the 2024 QPAS Award. Be part of the development process towards presenting a premiere production in 2026, meet the artists and share your feedback. 
In 2004, a group of radical queer activists boarded a seaplane they'd christened The Gayflower, flew 200 nautical miles off the coast of Queensland and landed on a tiny patch of sand and grass in the middle of the ocean. It was here that Emperor Dale Parker Anderson I would plant his rainbow flag and officially declare the claiming of "The Gay & Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands'' - a gay nation independent of homophobic Australia, where there was marriage equality for all, the currency was the pink dollar and the national anthem was Gloria Gaynor's I Am What I Am. 
Playwright, Tom Ballard says: "I want to write a funny, joyous play that tells the story of this fascinating queer protest - its history, its characters and its politics - and interrogates what it means for Australian queers today. Would we all just be better off escaping to our own separate queer paradise?"

Day For It

Mother Peta and daughter Kelly venture into the wilderness together; one of them comes out. Hiking Victoria's Great Ocean Walk has been a long-awaited dream for recent empty-nester Peta, who is surprised that her 25-year-old dirt, camping, and spending-time-with-mum-averse daughter has agreed to join her. However, Peta's anticipation is soon overshadowed by the secret Kelly has been keeping, and it's a pretty juicy one. As they are left with nothing to do but walk, Peta must confront a reality she didn't anticipate -- and it's not the only one. 
In the world premiere of this heartfelt comedic drama, the duo navigates blisters, identity, tangled tent poles, grief, unexpected detours and an unprecedented amount of time together. Spanning six days and 100 kilometres of rugged coastline, they traverse terrain that is both painfully familiar and completely unknown, until they find themselves standing on the brink of their respective metaphorical cliffs and prepare to leap. The real challenge? Not pushing each other off. 
The spiritual offspring of 'Please Like Me' and 'Fun Home,' 'Day For It' delves into familial dynamics and queerness in a muddy, uphill journey that pays homage to the complexities of intergenerational relationships. Originally developed for Gasworks' 2024 Queer Playwriting Awards Showcase and honoured with the inaugural People's Choice Award, 'Day For It' is co-written and directed by Sally Q Davies (she/her), co-written and performed by Anna Lindstedt (she/her), and features performer Roz Hammond (she/her).

Erasing Mamhood

Explode the sex binary with dodgy musical comedy. Join Jack Brady, a bumbling academic come musical comedian, for an hour of toying with the fragile feelings of the manosphere-insecurity complex. From AUKUS to AWKASS, from gene testing to gymnastics, come get your plastic disc coated in gold plate on a nice ribbon in first place irony. 
After the one-night-only successes of God Hates Me, dispensing with the cult of capitalism and its obsession with genitals, Jack takes on the space right between the eyes of manfluencers. Who better to do this than a trans academic/comedian, who failed the family tradition by bailing out of the defence force in the 1990s? One night only, for an hour, less expensive than a pizza with a side of bodily autonomy.

Glamourhead Sharks "Give Swimming a Go" Day

Melbourne's Glamourhead Sharks is a club for all swimming queers and their allies. This Midsumma, the Glams are putting on a 90 minute swim clinic. You don't need to be a super fish to enjoy swimming.

Our coaches will take you through some simple swimming drills and introduce you to a few strokes other than freestyle. For those who are a bit more confident in their swimming, some of our squad will be there to join you in some of the typical sets we would do in a regular training session. 
Jump in and out at your leisure and start your weekend out the best way we know how - getting in some laps and then soaking up the sun.

Melanated in Melbourne: Live

Melanated in Melbourne chronicles the lives of co-hosts Nicole and Ri'chard, two Black Americans living in Australia, as they navigate what it means to be a person of colour in the great down under. A delightful mix of insight and humour, the podcast explores working abroad, Australian lingo, racism, culture shock, identity, heartbreak and more. Melanated in Melbourne intentionally amplifies the voices of historically disenfranchised individuals by primarily having LGBTIQA+ people of color, both local and international, come on the show to share their unique stories, with guests ranging from psychologists to drag queens. 
While this podcast was created to inform, entertain and inspire Americans of Colour, Australians and people from around the world have caught on and loved the content - and that's what makes the podcast so special: Melanated in Melbourne appeals to the human experience, regardless of origin or ethnicity. Most people can relate to the difficulty of building and maintaining friendships as adults, navigating love and the search for purpose, so they tune in for a laugh, an "aha" moment, and sometimes a good cry. Nicole and Ri'chard's dream is that this podcast will continue to educate others on the Aussie lifestyle and even encourage them to push past their comfort zones and try something similar. 
To commemorate the launch of the third season of their show, the Melanated in Melbourne team are planning to host a live podcast during Black History Month and Midsumma. This event is intended to showcase the diverse talents of some of the guests they've had on the show, engage with current listeners and broaden the podcast's reach to share their intersectional stories with the broader Victorian community.

My Queer Spiritual Entropy

You are welcomed into the soft British woodland to explore non-binary belonging through the lens of Trans Ecology. In an alive forest of live-mixed animations, improvised music and the multi-rolling of six clashing characters, you will laugh cry and identify. With child-like play, we uproot the gender-binary, meanwhile, the buds of our raw complexity blossom through the cracks. This is queer theatre that doesn't take sides but seeks unity. From the roots to the leaves - from our heads to our toes, we diversify perspectives through the unwavering force of humour, vulnerability and love. 
Holly Rowan has previously performed My Queer Spiritual Entropy in Melbourne Fringe 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024. Their one-human show has now flourished into an exciting ecosystem of collaborations, with fellow non-binary artists in Melbourne. This show will take on a whole new audio-visual life, with a message more diverse and beautiful than ever. Also, this run will include greater sensory accessibility in its performances, and live-streamed shows will be available to watch online from home.

Mystery Call

Mystery Call is a 1-to-1 conversation that is digitally delivered and connects us in community near and far. It is influenced by awareness of bodily diversities and disability cultures. It is an experience to be heard and embodied instead of being visually seen. 
The MindsEye Collective invites you to discover through acts of listening and movement: an experience of your own body, the history of our bodies and a relationship to the collective queer body. 
You can join the Mystery Call virtually wherever you are or in person with the MindsEye Collective. At an appointed time, you and your mystery call partner will engage in a supported pre-arranged online call with cameras off. Together you will be guided via conversational prompts to consider and safely share aspects of your present experience and your relationship with the spaces / places you are in. As a pair, you will select fragments of your conversation to share with the Mindseye Collective that will be woven into dance. The dances will be embodied in Naarm throughout the Midsumma Festival for anyone to witness. To end your call, you will be offered a dance that has been composed and translated from a previous pair's Mystery Call to read aloud to one another and embody if you wish. 
Mystery Call is a creation of the MindsEye collective; a Gadigal based collaboration between Alex Craig, Gabriela Green Olea and Imogen Yang. Formed in 2020, this collective is committed to creating experimental movement-based works that are inclusive of all people and engage with audience members as active participants, across time and space, geographical, virtual, systemic & social borders.

Small Acts of Resistance

The world seems hopelessly stuck, repeating the mistakes of the past. We push ever closer to self-destruction through war, climate change, capitalism, and ongoing injustice for marginalised communities. Yet, there is always hope--slivers of light shining through the cracks in the facade. 
Created by a female and gender-diverse ensemble from Women's Circus, with members in their 50s, 60s and 70s, Small Acts of Resistance explores the need for hope in a world where protest and the voices of the disenfranchised are continually ignored. Blending inspiring circus and the soulful energy of live music and spoken word, we question why the lessons of the past are seemingly forgotten and how small acts of kindness, resistance, and hope can promote change. As proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community, fighting injustice is part of our DNA, and Women's Circus has been championing women's rights and empowering people of a marginalised gender for over 30 years. 
Bringing you defying acrobalance, inspiring aerials and feats of circus, this incredible cast embraces both the gravity and joy of what it means to be alive and striving for change. Small Acts of Resistance is a poignantly humorous celebration of our community's intellect, kindness, passion, and empathy, complete with all the messiness and contradictions that make us human.

The Butcher, The Baker

You want to be a butcher? You've got to love a butcher. The Butcher, The Baker... project was originally inspired by my experiences of living with a group of women on Amazon Acres deep in the New South Wales bush in the 1970's "No men, no meat, no machines". A tale with a twist, The Butcher, The Baker... is a story of a woman who in an effort to probe the mystery of a man she is obsessed with but cannot get close to disguises herself as a male. But the plan misfires and she is left with more than a sting in her tail!!! " Cabaret at its best! " - Jonathan Marshall, Inpress " Fantastically haunting cabaret music of the Weimar period... . Keen powers of observations... seething, seamy eroticism. " - Geoffrey Milne, ABC Radio " The songs are the stand-out element, the music has an urgency to it that is alluring and the lyrics are rich in imagery " - Fiona Scott-Norman, The Age " A deft mixture: poetic monologue, some excellent dialogue and nifty, moody songs... well-structured and crafted and always with a wacky European edge to its delivery " - Steven Carroll, The Age

The Queer Kingdom: A Staged Reading

Experience the first full reading of The Queer Kingdom by Tom Ballard, winner of the 2024 QPAS Award. Be part of the development process towards presenting a premiere production in 2026, meet the artists and share your feedback. 
In 2004, a group of radical queer activists boarded a seaplane they'd christened The Gayflower, flew 200 nautical miles off the coast of Queensland and landed on a tiny patch of sand and grass in the middle of the ocean. It was here that Emperor Dale Parker Anderson I would plant his rainbow flag and officially declare the claiming of "The Gay & Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands'' - a gay nation independent of homophobic Australia, where there was marriage equality for all, the currency was the pink dollar and the national anthem was Gloria Gaynor's I Am What I Am. 
Playwright, Tom Ballard says: "I want to write a funny, joyous play that tells the story of this fascinating queer protest - its history, its characters and its politics - and interrogates what it means for Australian queers today. Would we all just be better off escaping to our own separate queer paradise?"
