For those of you participating in our programs, this is just a reminder that classes will not be returning until the week beginning Feb 28.

Our friends at Back to Back Theatre in Geelong are bringing their show ‘The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes’ to Canberra this May 11-13 at The Playhouse.

Weaving a narrative through human rights, sexual politics, and the projected dominance of artificial intelligence, this new work is a sly theatrical revelation inspired by mistakes, mis-readings, mis-leadings and misunderstanding.

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!

Dear Rebus Participants,

From the team here at Rebus Theatre, we hope you are coping with the current restrictions occurring in the ACT region. Our greatest responsibility is to stay home and stay safe. Although the ACT lockdown is scheduled to conclude in early September, we are preparing for the end of lockdown to be a gradual return to business and that our workshops and classes might take a while longer to come back to a face-to-face format. In the interim, your directors and facilitators will be offering an online social connections program.  

REBUS ONLINE CONNECTIONS PROGRAM 

This program is different from your face-to-face program but will offer participants a chance to connect with one another, play a few theatre games, engage with some music and share one another’s experiences during this challenging time.  

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PARTICIPATE? 

You will need a device with a camera and audio that has a good connection to the internet. This could include a laptop, desktop computer, tablet or mobile phone. The application we will be using for this program is ZOOM.  

You will be sent a link via email, or we will call with the meeting ID number and a password for your sessions. These sessions are private and only for participants who were already attending our face-to-face programs.

WHAT’S NEXT  

Throughout this week a Rebus staff member will be calling you or your carer to discuss accessibility for you and determine if enough participants are interested to make the online program viable. You do not have to participate in an online program, please feel free to let the Rebus staff know if you do not wish to participate. There will be a minimum number of participants required to go ahead. Once we have an idea of numbers, we will send out invitations to your first ZOOM session in the week starting 30^th August 2021.
