Enrol now for our ‘Systems of Sanity’ program in 2022

December 10, 2021

A ground-breaking theatre project asking the hard questions about mental health and the mental health system, for anyone with lived experience of mental ill-health, including people who aren’t sure if they exactly fit that definition, or aren’t comfortable with that language. Directed by Rebus Artistic Director Robin Davidson and assistant director Joel Swadling, Systems of Sanity uses theatre games, exercises and techniques to explore different ways of thinking and communicating about mental health, mental illness, and the mental health system, with the option of being in a performance.

Happy International Day of People with Disability!

December 2, 2021

Happy International Day of People with Disability! Today we celebrate all the talented, tenacious, spirited, and downright awesome people with disability in the Rebus family! From our administrative staff, to our board, to our program participants, to the casts, directors and technical crews of our main stage shows, people with disability are the life blood of this organisation and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Help us support mental health of LGBTQIA+ young people!

December 2, 2021

Stigma and discrimination against LGBTQIA+ young people remain significant problems, and young people who identify as LGBTQIA+ are at greater risk of mental health issues and bullying. While there are services that provide one-on-one counselling for LGBTQIA + young people, there are limited avenues in Canberra for them to meet each other and form informal support networks, and to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment.

Rebus acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pays our respect to elders past, present and emerging.
