Dive 278: Your mission is to dive to a coral reef that showed up on our radar a couple of weeks ago. This coral reef houses the mythical marine life that we have been studying for the past 6 years, in order to make a secret documentary to share to the public.

The Seadragons, Maneaters and Mermaids that live there all vanish whenever we try to grab them. We’ve been surveying the area ever since, and today, when you arrived, there was some sort of echo-signal emanating from the reef.

We have no time to lose. We have to get there before 'they' get here.

Roll 4 Role is an interactive theatre performance that asks the audience to roll the dice (literally) for the show they want to see.

The show will never be the same twice.

Every single performance will be an entirely new piece of theatre but will still be filled with rich story and deep insight from the performers.

"TIN CAN," written by Lexie May and co-created by Poppy Skipper, explores intense personal and social issues within the confines of a train journey. Directed with sound and lighting by Hanna Ogawa, the play features characters dealing with themes of death, mental and physical illness, and social problems. As the actors and audience share the train setting, they witness conflicts, heartfelt conversations, and dark humor, all while reflecting on their own lives and interactions. With content warnings for coarse language and overwhelming soundscapes, the play dives deep into human emotions and societal observations, culminating in powerful scenes that highlight the raw and unfiltered nature of daily life and personal struggles.

The fear of the unknown is an ancient and all-consuming power, a beast that causes chaos in this beautiful world. The duality of the human condition battles to both destroy and protect its sanity, something that can so easily shatter when faced with conflict.

Fickle social structures, prior prejudice and naivety threaten the future. Maybe embracing the beauty of change found in the unknown can lessen the chaos.
