Rebus is seeking expressions of interest from actors, improvisors and musicians to receive free training in Playback Theatre as part of the Rebus Playback Theatre Ensemble! Training will likely lead to paid performance opportunities. Join a supportive ensemble, and an international community, creating Theatre for social change.
We are holding a public group audition workshop on Tuesday June 6 from 6:45-9:15pm in Braddon. The location will be provided upon registration.
Playback Theatre is a form of improvised theatre in which audience members tell moments or stories from their own lives, and a team of actors and musicians improvise it back on the spot, without costumes, props, script or rehearsal. It can be funny or deeply moving depending upon the story told. It can be a powerful tool in healing and empowering communities.
1) Unfortunately our first (SOLD OUT) Braidwood Wonder Walks event with Project Alchemy artist Cecile Galliazzo, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has had to be postponed due to bad whether. The new date for the Wonder Walk at Geebung is Saturday 15th July. Check your emails for what to do if you had a ticket for this. The date change may open up some new tix for this so stay tuned.
2) The 2nd of these events at Plumwood in May is also SOLD OUT!

We currently have spots available in our popular iDrama program.
Held at various locations in Canberra (Braddon, Downer and Kambah), iDrama is designed to encourage participants to develop their creative expression, build confidence, make new friends, and learn a few performance skills along the way. No acting experience required! For many participants, iDrama has been a launchpad into further opportunities and paid theatre work offered by Rebus!
Rebus Theatre is the proud recipient of the Department of Industry, Science and Resources Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grant.
The $870,000 grant will see a community-led arts recovery program established across five local government areas including QPRC, Eurobodalla, Bega, East Gippsland and the ACT.
After consultation with the disability sector, Rebus’ Disability Advisory Group, our participants, their carers, and families, the Rebus Board has made the difficult decision to delay the commencement of face-to-face lessons until the week of the 28 February 2022.
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.
Enrol now to join our weekly drama classes for people with intellectual disabilities in 2022. Build confidence, make new friends and learn acting and performance skills.
Rebus has made the difficult decision not to return to face-to-face classes in 2021.
While this was a difficult decision, the Board and Management Team decided it would be safest for Rebus to observe any ‘community transmission fall out’ that may arise from current easing of restrictions, without putting our participants at further risk, many of whom are classified as highly vulnerable to the virus. Protecting the safety of our participants and staff is paramount to the organisation.
Award- winning mixed ability theatre company: Rebus Theatre will be hosting a theatre workshop in Braidwood.
