Melbourne's iconic Handspan Theatre's history documented.

Many teachers will recall the incredible work of Melbourne's visual theatre company, Handspan Theatre. Much of the company’s repertoire during its 25 year history (1977 – 2002)  was for young audiences – predominantly presented in schools.

Now you can revisit their repertoire in a website that archives their shows with commentary and occasional anecdotes of their time. 

The website was created and developed by Helen Rickards and Maeve Vella. Check it out here
