I feel heard.

I feel heard; in a number of ways. There is a certain nerve we humans have to attempt such things; careers, relationships. Liking our careers. 

Liking our relationships.

All the whilst; being tidy, orderly and maintaining a steady consumption of stimulants.

Sometimes, the high maintenance of this modern life tips us over. This often takes the form of caffeine overdoses, significant-other over-doses or the classic, concrete-head hangovers, amongst other realms of despair. Through an eloquent display of dance theatre, Collie Productions has captured the emotional truism of these sticky moments. 

The creative force behind Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey is Isobelle Collie, a soon-to-be WAAPA graduate from the BA in performance making stream. Her vision for the show was to explore what makes us “tick”, which she has achieved with great success. 

Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey features four performers, who transcend the everyday instances of psychological turmoil, through the physical. An impeccable display of theatre, contemporary dance and music. All with the fun of blushing 60s tunes and polka-dot costumes. This show is a perfectly designed for a curious audience, ready for a heart-to-heart. 

Whilst the belly laughs frequent this experience, this performance provides insight into the intricacies of motivation and how it moves us through life. It is about navigating morale, desire and trust through our everyday rituals and domesticity. It is about what happens when impulsivity or fatigue interfere with our intentions and it is about what happens when we lose out. Though, most importantly, it is a celebration the love in our relationships that saves us every time, however humble. 

For those so inclined, head on down to see Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey. Be sure to have done your house chores before you go... you might just gain the recognition you’ve always deserved.
