Flag Inc. make connections between humans though community projects, creative workshops and performances.

projects

Flag Inc. collaborates with communities on large and small scale projects to create public live art and performance, often for non-traditional arts audiences, using public indoor and outdoor spaces.

We invite high-quality artistic collaborators with fresh ideas and approaches to help realise our work and at the core of each project is the input of younger, emerging artists, contributing to the work, and at the same time receiving mentoring as they develop their own skills.

Each project is different but there are things that are common to all of our work. We don’t start with a script or a vision of an end result, so each project is unique. We specialise in making work with a responsive, collaborative and experimental approach. Our process combines provocation, conversation, play and improvisation and results in uncovering stories and forging connections between humans.

Check out recent Flag Inc. projects, The Alfred Solomons Project: Behind The Counter, The Alfred Solomons Project: Six and Human after All.

Workshops

Flag Inc. facilitate creative workshops for school students and community groups across Victoria. We tailor-make workshops to suit your group’s ages and requirements. This can include (but is not limited to) physical theatre, improvisation, script-writing, puppet making and puppetry, mask making and performance. Our teaching artists are all practising professional artists and highly skilled teachers. Let us create an unforgettable creative learning experience for your group.

shows

Flag Inc’s core youth Ensemble started making shows in 2010. Since then we’ve improvised, we’ve inhaled and spat out texts, we’ve scribbled and scratched around in the dirt, had food fights, sat around staring at each other, and made lists. We’ve worn and eaten packets and packets of fake teeth and burnt the midnight oil making cockroach suits.

We like to sniff around and gobble up everything we see and think about theatre and performance, working out what those things mean to us, what to do with them and what kinds of conversations/altercations they can provoke with audiences.

We perform our shows in everyday places like churches, garden sheds, laundromats, japanese restaurants and out on the streets and gutters, as well as in theatres and shoeboxes.
