Here's what I've been working on recently...

NOW - Fearless Theatre Company

Director: Marion Arditti

Writer: Helene Tardif

3 NOW - Darren Thao.JPG
In July of 2025 I performed in a new play entitled 'NOW' with Fearless Theatre Company at The Motley Bauhaus. We had a very successful two-week season.

It was a joy to bring the character of 'The First' to life and explore the complex relationships and themes of the work: time, the  evolution of humanity and technology.

We were very lucky to have Silvia Shao on board as our designer, as well as Tomas Gerasimidis as our lighting designer and tech operator.

Braver than a Bear - Women*s Circus

Director: Malia Walsh of Circus Trick Tease (Werk It, CHEER)

Assistant Director: Katy Burrows

3 performers dressed in costume - 2 are clowns, 1 is a giant bear with only their legs visable in the image. The clowns are dragging the bear and look panicked. Text reads "Braver than a Bear" in red witha giant bear paw print. At the top it says "The 2024 End of year member cabaret".At the bottom it says "Women*s Circus" and then in a purple box "community Bank Seddon. Bendigo bank". There is also a black and white Auslan symbol.
In December of 2024 I performed in the Women*s Circus Cabaret Braver than a Bear. This was is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with a large group of artists from marginalised genders to present a beautiful, comedic, uplifting show.

In my act I played a building inspector with a passion of safety but an unfortunately clumsy disposition. This act combined clowning and dance trapeze in such a way that the audience were left in hysterics.

HAVOC - Circus Oz

Created and Performed by: Circus Oz and people of the broader Australian circus scene

Devised by: Sharon Gruenert, Nicci Wilks, Debra Batton, Leo Pentland, Carl Polke

In Collaboration with: Squawkestra!

Circus Oz acrobats wearing red form a giant human pyramid during their show HAVOC. Musicians are positions to the side and back of stage as part of the Squawkestra.
In October of 2024 for the Melbourne Fringe Festival I had the opportunity to devise and perform a show with Circus Oz.
HAVOC consisted of "A mass of acrobats, a mass of musicians, a mass of artistry, a mash-up of circus mayhem. Over seventy humans on stage. An arsenal of circus artists from near and far accompanied by a rocking circus band and the chaotic and majestic 40-piece Squawkestra! orchestrating the unforgettable."

I enjoyed being involved in ensemble acts including, table sliding, group bike, handstands and group acrobatics, as well as featuring as a soloist in the roller skating act

Circus De Licious - Express Move ME

Produced by The Mighty Caesar & Express Move ME

Thanks to Express Move ME, I had the chance to debut a new roller-skating trapeze act in October of 2024 for the Melbourne Fringe Festival season at Circus Nexus.

This act follows the melodramatic story of the dwarf planet Pluto as they discover they're no longer considered a "real" planet. It is a comedic tale exploring themes of exclusion and isolation.

It was such a joy performing 'Pluto' alongside many talented artists in Circus De Licious and to go on to perform it again at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Fringe For Kids by Wildhouse Circus.

As an artist living in Naarm (Melbourne) my work takes place on the lands of the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation. I would like to acknowledge that these are stolen lands and that the affects of colonisation are ongoing to this day, across all of so-called Australia. I would like to pay my respects to elders past and present and recognise the rich culture of art and history of storytelling that has existed on this land for over 20 000 years. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

If you also live on stolen land and are in a position to do so, I highly encourage you to Pay The Rent
