This year, our ground-breaking partnership with Melbourne Fringe is all about innovation, with a group of commissioned artists creating new work in a way we’ve never seen before.
During a two-week creative residency in their homes, mid-pandemic, the artists developed ideas for a new work for the festival. They shared their creative explorations with audiences online, with the intention of performing them live this November. And we all know what happened next...
With continued adaptability, resilience and ingenuity, in the face of public health restrictions, Take Over! sees a collection of final works premiered as well as advanced works-in-progress, delivered digitally.
Spanning dance, theatre, spoken word, music, live art and installation, this daring collection of works is packed-full of passion and vulnerability from some of the country's most exciting artists.
Tickets now on sale.

This video is a compilation from the Take Over! At Home Creative Development residencies. Due to scheduling challenges, Joel Bray and Kate Hood’s work will not be presented during the Melbourne Fringe Take Over! season. We are thrilled that they were able to develop their work as part of this program.
