Summer Lovin' (we had us a blast)
What a Sunny Summer it's been for House of Sand (if a little exhausting)...
Dear Friends,
We’re touching base to thank you for being part of a great summer festival season for House of Sand, and to let you know what is in store over the coming months.
2018 has been a HUGE year so far: House of Sand has presented works to critical and public acclaim at the Adelaide Fringe and the New Zealand Fringe and started development on a brand new work whilst in Adelaide thanks to a residency at LWD Dance Hub.
Since Festival season came to a close, rehearsals have commenced for Revolt She Said. Revolt Again. and pre-production is in full swing for Welcome The Bright World.
We are also thrilled to announce that Creative Partnerships Australia has invited us to be a part of Match Lab - meaning every dollar donated to our projects until 30th May 2018 is matched DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!

FUN FACTS:
During the first three months of this year..
12 Performers have appeared in
16 House of Sand performances.
7 of those artists have flown around Aus and NZ
on 11 different planes.
and 4 designers have made all those artists look amazing.
And Eliza and I have sent exactly 1,000,000 e-mails and had 42 moments of moderate anxiety each!!
** all of the above facts are true except for the emails.. it was probably more but we lost count!
Read on for the full breakdown!
much love,
Charles, Eliza & the whole House of Sand team
