Cubbin Theatre Co at the 2025 ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering
In March 2025, Cubbin Theatre Company was invited to present their show Up and Away at the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering "Bright Generations" in Marseille, France.
Hannah Wheeler of Cubbin Theatre sent PAYPA this report:
Our show, Up and Away which is designed for babies and their families, was selected to be presented at the gathering in Marseille - one of 19 international shows presented across the week.
Melanie Luckman, Amy Straker and myself, travelled to France, and it was a huge moment for Cubbin to share our work with the world. We had a brilliant week connecting and sharing with 700+ international delegates in attendance.
Through this process, we've come to recognise that Cubbin are leaders in the work that we create for babies and families. We have a unique perspective that deserves to be shared. People are genuinely blown away by our approach, which validates our work - what we're doing now, what we've done in the past, and where we're heading. It's very exciting.
