Expensive Grif-friend,
My title is Sasha, and I’m the Advertising and marketing Coordinator right here at Griffin! Once I’m not placing collectively juicy content material so that you can join with, I’m very slowly finishing a legislation diploma and am a full-time canine mum to a spoilt French Bulldog x Pug named Pig.
My day by day routine could also be chock-a-block full, however nothing will maintain me—nor ought to maintain you—from basking in moments of Sydney sunshine when you will get it! I’m not a summer time particular person, however I’m not a winter particular person both… I’m a daylight saving particular person and my time to thrive is coming! The start of Spring is sinking into my pores and skin and getting me excited for lengthy balmy nights and many theatre.
There isn’t any higher method to relish this spring feeling than by experiencing (…plug incoming) Whitefella Yella Tree, a lush story about Nation and queer Blak love. I’m consciously making an attempt to melt my ‘advertising and marketing voice’ proper now, however you’ll kick your self for those who miss out on tickets to this present that has been receiving some fairly unbelievable critiques. Callan Purcell and Man Simon as Ty and Neddy completely encapsulate the coinciding awkwardness and gravitas of past love. The present wakes up these cynical, hardened elements of you and makes you sit in that vulnerability, whereas additionally reflecting on the insidious and permeating injury that colonisation has had on First Nations communities and relationships to Nation.
Following Whitefella Yella Tree, Griffin can be internet hosting Mom Could We by the unbelievable poet and performer Mel Ree. Mel’s vitality is really one in all a form and instantly felt. We’ve been recording some interviews with Mel within the lead as much as the present, and the interviews alone have left me with a lot meals for thought—it’s a privilege to be in her vibrant firm. I’m able to have my thoughts BLOWN.
That’s all from me… for now… however right here’s a deal with for individuals who have made it this far. Griffin’s 2023 Season can be launching (!!!) on Monday 19 September. The Griffs have been working laborious behind the scenes and gearing up for what can be a showstopping new 12 months.
Okay—that’s truly all the things from me! Get outta right here! It’s been a proper pleasure to introduce myself, and I hope to fulfill a few of you within the lobby quickly!
