donβt really have words for how much @adlfringe 2026 has meant βοΈ
The creation & premiere of Meteors has been a goal for a very long time, and the overwhelming success of the season is something Iβm still processing. Winning three overall awards, a weekly award, the opportunity to take the show interstate and overseas, selling out shows, receiving beautiful reviews & sharing some deeply special conversations. Itβs been a whirlwind & a dream.
BIG love for these last few months and all the people in it π«ΆπΌ

Weβre beyond proud to share that The CRAM Collective has received an Adelaide Fringe Weekly Award for Emerging Artists.
Meteors has been developed, produced and presented by emerging artists. What started as an idea has become 7 sold out shows, multiple 5-star reviews, and now this. Itβs been a hustle and only possible because of the support along the way.
Weβre incredibly grateful to our venue, The Mill, for supporting us through the Centre Stage Residency, to Adelaide Fringe, and to the Helpmann Academy who have supported us from the beginning. Finally, thank you to every audience member who has shown up and engaged so generously with Meteors.
Weβve got a feeling this isnβt the end of Meteors. Stay tuned.
