Making Time: What the Stars RememberA series of Community Workshops & Open Rehearsals

Second Echo Ensemble is bringing their exciting new work-in-development – Making Time: What the Stars Remember – to Rosny Farm for a series of public workshops and open rehearsals.

Supported through the City of Clarence Cultural and Creative Grants program, this project invites audiences into the early stages of this new immersive performance currently in development for 2027.

Across three days at The Barn, you’re invited to step inside the process – observe rehearsals, take part in creative workshops, and contribute to a work while it’s still taking shape.

These sessions offer a rare opportunity to experience how a performance begins, and how it grows and evolves.

Presented by Second Echo Ensemble – a Hobart-based contemporary arts company known for creating inclusive, multidisciplinary work – participants and audiences are invited to engage in a shared process of making, testing and imagining.

From building sculptural mobiles to exploring movement and collaborative play, each session contributes to a growing body of ideas that will inform the final work.

Come for one session or enjoy them all – each offers a different way to connect, create and observe.
