Be the first to experience brand-new work as Slanted Theatre comes to Naarm with Slanted Scribbles, part of Darebin Arts Speakeasy’s Scratch Night series.
This evening is your chance to see bold ideas, first drafts, and raw experiments performed live for the very first time. From comedy to spoken word, drag to drama, stories of love, grief, culture, identity and more - you’ll be in the room where fresh voices and forms are tested in front of an audience.
Come hear new writings from: Aran Thangaratnam, Long Tran, Julia Faragher, Danny Park, Enhui, Sabrina Lee, Vin R. Quach, Henry Vo and Shane Woon.
As an audience member, you’re not just watching - you’re part of the process. Your presence and energy help artists discover what lands, what surprises, and what sparks further exploration. With time set aside for mingling, it’s also a chance to connect with other artists, collaborators, and like-minded creatives.
Slanted Theatre is a collective dedicated to championing Asian voices on stage, presenting bold new work and building supportive communities of artists.
Join us at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre for a relaxed evening of fresh stories, conversation, and connection - and help shape the future of new performance.

Speakeasy Scratch Nights are a new sharing platform for artists to test out new works-in-development on a live and generous audience of likeminded artists. This is an open access, inclusive, messy, supportive and celebratory space for artists to take risks and connect across the community.
The Speakeasy Scratch Nights are hosted and curated by our Companies in Residence and a series of guest curators, with different themes and curatorial approaches each time.
Come along to experience live performance experiments and be part of our community of practice, or follow us on Instagram to find out how to get involved.
