The season will include ten productions, of which five are from international artists/companies, six are world premieres, three are Australian premieres and one is a Melbourne premiere.

Some highlights of the program include A Drone Opera, an experimental multimedia performance where artist Matthew Sleeth has designed, built and programmed customised drones specifically for the performance context and has collaborated with artists Kate Richards, Robin Fox, Phil Samartzis and Susan Frykberg, lighting designer Bosco Shaw and choreographer Shelleylasica; Dance of the Bee, an interspecies musical collaboration performed by three pianists, the vocalists of the Astra choir and a live swarm of bees, housed inside a sculpted, transparent hive; and Okwui Okpokwasili’s Bronx Gothic, a solo creation at the intersection of theatre, dance and visual art installation, which tells the tale of the relationship between two girls on the verge of adolescence in 1980s outer-borough New York. 

The season also boasts a collection of local, national and international collaborations, including PS122, Melbourne Festival, Taipei Festival, Melbourne Fringe and Spring Fling.
