View ProjectBranch Nebula is a distinct voice in Australian performance culture, creating visceral and audacious works that resist easy consumption.
Driven by a dissatisfaction with hierarchies, barriers and systems of value, the company centres bodies, risk and presence across theatres, streets and public spaces.
Drawing energy from grassroots and subcultural practices, Branch Nebula values what is marginal, celebrates imperfection and finds possibility in overlooked places.
Led by mature artists with a long history of collaboration, the company combines physical rigour, intergenerational exchange and deep community engagement to create shared experiences that are demanding, playful and alive.
Over its more than two-decade history, Branch Nebula has consistently pushed boundaries and opened new possibilities for physical performance. Always challenging, gripping, and surprising, the formal innovation of the company’s work is matched by a fierce and unwavering commitment to social engagement, political debate and social critique.
—Jeff Kahn, Creative Director, Asia TOPA Festival
