Melbourne's iconic Handspan Theatre's history documented.
Jul 24, 2017
Many teachers will recall the incredible work of Melbourne's visual theatre company, Handspan Theatre. Much of the company’s repertoire during its 25 year history (1977 – 2002) was for young audiences – predominantly presented in schools.
Now you can revisit their repertoire in a website that archives their shows with commentary and occasional anecdotes of their time.
The website was created and developed by Helen Rickards and Maeve Vella. Check it out here
