Statement about Diversity
SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2020
We acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, live and create, and recognise their continuing connection to the land, water and community. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, to their ancestors and elders and to our shared future.
This weekend we held a meeting to discuss the systemic racism faced by First Nations, Indigenous and People Of Colour in the Australian theatre community.
We acknowledge that we can do better to build an inclusive culture and are committed to educating ourselves and setting a new standard for our conversations and actions as a company, at every level.
We love creating work and making theatre and appreciate that a part of the reason we have been able to do so is because we are in a position of privilege. We want to use our privilege to do better; this means investigating and changing our own actions, holding our work and our industry accountable, and amplifying the voices and work of First Nations, Indigenous and People of Colour. The past few weeks we have witnessed a lot of hurt and vulnerability from Indigenous, First Nations and PoC artists. We have also witnessed strength, passion and resilience; we are incredibly hopeful that this spotlight on systemic racism will ultimately lead to more inclusive theatre.
We pledge to make inclusion and equity a larger focus of our work in the future; encouraging, supporting and celebrating diverse voices. We acknowledge that a statement is just a statement and actions speak louder than words, but we are committed to holding ourselves accountable to this pledge. We stand with the Indigenous/First Nations/Bla(c)k, Black/African Australian and People of Colour in our community, and we are listening. Please reach out to us if there are elements of this statement or our processes which you would like to discuss.

JUNE 8th, 2018
Not long now until the theatre bar is open for our first show of the year, Philtrum by Anthea Greco, and audience members can discover why we're so excited to be serving Helen and Joey estate wines.
If a trip to their cellar door in the Yarra Valley isn't on the cards, you can get your fix from us this July. For now, here is a tasty drop from their website on that magical unicorn logo:
"The unicorn is a mythical creature which has been written about in history across many cultures for thousands of years. Accusations of real sightings have been made many times, only in reality, the sightings were other animals; perhaps seen in the mist from afar, an antelope with only one antler, a stunning white horse disappearing into the forrest.
The unicorn, like wine, is an enigma; it is ambiguous, often puzzling, stunningly beautiful, subjective and like the Unicorn displays all things that we admire;
Strength, Power and Elegance"

She will be representing her country with her play Sisters, Inferno, as well as stepping into the acting ring while she’s there.

North of Eight welcomes new member James Cerche
April 22nd, 2018
Among our rigorous planning for our 2018 season, we're delighted to welcome our new ensemble member, James Cerche!
We threw some questions at him, so you can get to know him a bit better:
WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT STORYTELLING?
Storytelling is a courageous and inspiring act. It has the power to fight, mend, break and create ideas about ourselves and the world around us. It is essential practice and a great privilege to engage in.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT WITH NORTH OF EIGHT?
North of Eight is a company comprised entirely of friends, most of whom are intelligent and talented women. There’s not a lot more you could hope for in any kind of group.
WHAT’S BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE TO DATE?
Debuting at Forty-five Downstairs with Goodnight Darlings’ Rainbow Man is one of my proudest and fondest achievements. Again, this comes down to working with talented friends who have the courage to think differently and take risks.
Connors to join MTC’s ‘Women In Theatre Program’
January 19th, 2018
We are thrilled to share that our Founding member, Siobhan Connors, has been selected to be part of Melbourne Theatre Company‘s ‘Women In Theatre Program’. Congratulations Siobhan!
Taking a stance
December 11th, 2017
As a relatively new independent company, we have been inspired and wish to acknowledge the public stand being taken by our fellow independents over the past week.
As we take stock of our first year of creating theatre, we are grateful to find ourselves surrounded by companies and individuals who are not afraid to demand the best of themselves and their colleagues, and to call out anything less. We acknowledge the power we have to hold ourselves and our collaborators present and in the future to the highest standard of safe and respectful working practices, and to choose carefully where we align our practice.
North of Eight is committed to standing against harassment, bullying, sexual harassment and all forms of prejudice in the arts.

REVIEW: The Plus Ones on Navy Pier
august 24th, 2017

Mark Salvestro on Navy Pier
august 19th, 2017
Founding Member and Marketing & Publicity Manager, Mark Salvestro, plays ‘Martin’ in NAVY PIER by John Corwin. Hear what Mark has loved about the process:
“What I find fascinating about ‘Navy Pier’ is the concepts of time and place. Each character is gathered in this one room to tell their version of a collective story, each in their own time and place, yet with this hyper awareness of one another and the way each person is retelling the story. The play is a real testament to memory, which is something that utterly fascinates me. Why do we remember certain things, and not others? How do we filter what details stick with us? And how conscious are we of this process? This has probably been the most challenging – and addictive – part of working on ‘Navy Pier’.”
Jessica Stanley on ‘Navy Pier’
august 18th, 2017
Here what actor and North of Eight Chair, Jessica Stanley, has to say about her experience of playing ‘Iris’ in John Corwin’s NAVY PIER.
“Working with this script has been such a fun new challenge. They’re such relatable, flawed characters who just want to share their points of view. The style of writing is so conversational yet the script calls for a certain level of non-naturalism, and that’s been a really exciting new way to work. It’s such a great lesson in just being present and trusting; we all jump in on each other’s lines so much, honestly half the time I have no idea what my next line is! But I just stay present and listen and the rest takes care of itself”

Navy Pier: A note from the director
august 9th, 2017
Notes from our ‘Navy Pier’ director, Phoebe Taylor:
“It’s an interesting thing, we don’t often think of the nineties exhibiting characteristics of period work; and we were there not so long ago. However, with how quickly technology is moving – the speed of communication and the way we interact with others – we can see quite a dramatic shift in quite a small timeframe. Funnily enough, in some ways, it feels like Navy Pier was ahead of its time in asking the fundamental questions about self-representation, the exchange of information and how we, as individuals, can lose our sense of self. It’s an extraordinarily contemporary piece that raises questions about identity, yet exists in this recent pocket of time completely unencumbered by modern technology, social media and these things that we’ve almost forgot how to live without.”

Introducing our Executive Producer: Dean Worthington
may 30th, 2017
We’d love to introduce our newest member of NoE and Executive Producer, DEAN WORTHINGTON, who has been working away behind the scenes for some months now.
We’re thrilled to have Dean and his expertise on board. Get to NoE him a little more below:
WHY ARE YOU SO PASSIONATE ABOUT STORYTELLING?
Storytelling allows us as people to connect and share with one another in all of life’s experiences. The sharing of stories is a part of what makes us who we are, whether it be through great theatre, to something much simpler in communicating with our fellow humans. All stories are important and allow us to learn and develop from others’ stories and apply them to our own journey and relationships.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT WITH NORTH OF EIGHT?
I love working with groups where passion and love are the driving forces behind the work. The Collective is one of the most committed and passionate groups of people that I have ever seen, there is such a dedication to the company and the industry as a whole. It is such an honour to work with such talented and passionate people, I just know that we are going to continue to flourish as we continue to produce exceptional work.
WHAT’S BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE TO DATE?
I’m not sure I could ever distill all the theatre I have seen into one favourite moment. While I was living in London I managed to see some amazing actors treading the boards in the West End, I will never forget seeing James Earl Jones, playing Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which just blew me away. But I have also loved experiencing smaller independent pieces which really push the boundaries of what we traditionally know and expect as theatre.

Recap: “Storytelling is intrinsic to the human experience …” some highlights from Chair, Sally McLean’s speech from our launch in November
FEBRUARY 15th, 2017
As we head into Opening Week for our inaugural production, “Terminus”, we would like to share with you some of the speech delivered to the full house at our Company Launch and 2017 Season Launch by our Chair, Sally McLean, that highlights how we feel about storytelling and celebrates our main Production Partners – The Courthouse Hotel, North Melbourne:
“Storytelling is intrinsic to the human experience and has been since time immemorial. Whether you consider yourself a Creative or not, you are a storyteller. From a favourite dinner party anecdote to the reason why you are late to work, to putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard to write a letter, email or blog post, we are all storytellers and all contribute to the wider tapestry of storytelling that is the cornerstone of what it is to be human.
Artists are the ones who delve into the human psyche and experience to bring back stories that enlighten, entertain, educate and engage. And there is no more important a time for our voices to be heard. But we can’t do that without the support of others.
I would like to acknowledge the Courthouse Hotel for not only sponsoring our launch tonight, but also for including us in the extraordinary line-up of Arts practitioners who also call this place their home.
It is people such as Julie and Jason and their businesses such as The Courthouse who are ensuring that independent artists still have a voice – and at a time when it is more important than ever to have those voices heard.
So on behalf of North of Eight, I thank the Courthouse for their belief, their faith, their passion and their commitment to providing such a vibrant and welcoming home for Artists in general and us in particular. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with them now and in the years to come.”
