             Site-Specific Theatre

Taking place within Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, Southern Crossings is an evolving audio library of commuter contemplations on comings and goings, arrivals and departures, hopes and disappointments and other stuff.

Phase 1 - Installation : Placing a small building covered with luggage, suitcases, hand-bags in the main concourse of Southern Cross Station. The interior of the building reveals an old-fashioned tea parlour, replete with high-backed twin-seaters and fine china. It also doubles as our recording studio.

Phase 2 - Archive : Working out of our station booth, commuters and other station users are invited to share and record their stories, recollections, reflections. Join us for a cup of tea, browse our collection of travel and railway literature, and share a story or two - about characters, moments, what you have left behind and what you have found. And anything else.

Phase 3 - Audio Journey : The stories form the basis for an audio work/walk. Book a journey through these collected memories, music and Southern Cross station, equiped with an ipod and map.
