Bower family portrait april 2009 | Bower was a clandestine performance installation about homes and homelessness, nests and memories. Bower existed in two halves. The first half occurred at 4 Sturrock St where the guests were greeted at the gate and led into an anthropomorphic world of man and bird. The final half took place in the burnt out shell of what was once a great mansion. "I didn't know whether I was meant to be a person or a bird." --audience member.

On Friday 20th March Sanctum Theatre celebrated the 233rd anniversary of Adam Smith’s seminal work, Wealth of Nations.
The ship may be sinking, the ‘invisible hand’ might have lost its grip on the invisible wheel, but there is an alternative. On the 20th Sanctum broke away from the globular economic system and realised Smith’s ideal economic order on a small patch of turf in Brunswick. Links:

directed by
Lachlan Plain
August 2008
| “Anyone surrounded from childhood by an abundance of level land must dream alternatively of exploring two landscapes – one continually visible but not accessible and the other always invisible even though one crossed and recrossed it daily.”
The Plains: a play is Lachlan Plain’s adaptation of Gerald Murnane’s The Plains: a novel (Patrick White Award 1999, NSW Premier’s Award 2007), via the paintings of Philip Hunter and the music of Sebastian Jorgensen.
A filmmaker travels from his coastal exterior ‘towards the heart of some remote private plain…'
Presented by VCA Drama and Sanctum Theatre as part of the 'VCA Drama 2008 Master of Theatre Practice Performance Season'.

September 2006 | "Resurrection through decomposition."
Sanctum Theatre was launched in Spring 2006 at the Abbotsford Convent with its inaugral production, Lament: candles & compost. Lament was described by the Age as, “Full of striking images… shadowplay and puppetry were absorbingly innovative” , and by Inpress as being a, “Startling work that is at once confronting and yet comforting.”
