Collisions
Devised by rawcus and and musicians
from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Collisions was the first stage in an exciting creative partnership between rawcus,
a theatre company of performers with and without disability and musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

Collisions was an experiment to see what happened when musicians from the MSO and performers from rawcus came together in an empty space for a week. It culminated in a showing of the discoveries made during this creative development.
