Future Tense

The Future Tense program continues Arts House’s bold commitment to art that challenges our preconceptions and values. We celebrate artistic practice that expands the traditional relationship between artist and audience and introduces an element of creative exchange.

The work we will bring to you during our August theatre season represents a snapshot of exhilarating contemporary theatre practise from well established artists alongside emerging artists. In October Arts House also continues strong co-programming initiatives with Melbourne International Arts Festival realising inspiring works across Melbourne.

We are also thrilled to launch the Six Degrees project which invites sound artists to create works which reflect on the challenges of climate change and global warming and the inter-connectedness of humanity.

“Imagine if we succeed in inspiring our audiences to reduce their own impacts on climate change by just one percent. That would be like turning the State of California off for almost two months.” Rupert Murdoch

We trust that you will again take the Arts House journey into an exciting unknown.
