Post show greetings to each and every one of you,

I sincerely hope wherever in the world you are your footfall softens gently upon the earth.  

We did it! We premiered Until Falling Things Work at The Blue Room Theatre to a wonderfully welcoming audience and a sold out season. I use ‘we’ as the collective to reference the creative team, who without their extraordinary collaborations this could not have happened, and to also hold all of you, the behind the scenes contributors with gratitude for your generous and continued support. 

If I tell you honestly, on our first tech day of lighting plots, troubleshooting this and that, identifying us in the studio theatre and the general shenanigans of a bump in, Josten Myburgh came in to do a sound check. It was the first time we had heard their compositions with very good speakers and at volume. Oh my gracious I cried with joy and deep embedded emotion, overwhelmed, thankful and ready to let this creation come into play.

Throughout the course of the week the performance evolved,  becoming more playful and intimate, nuanced and refined as the live audience accepted my invitation to share with me my personal narratives connecting our universal experience. It was truly liberating.

And thank you to all of you who came to the performance and opened up new conversations in the bar afterwards.

‘The show’s not over till the fat lady sings’ and Elvis has not left the building, just yet! And so the work goes on... the Australia Cultural Fund is still active and accepting donations. The last time I looked we had reached $9,325 which in itself is a marvelous thing however the target of $12,000 is still a short way off. I remain encouraged and hopeful to hit the target with the fund remaining open until the 10th June, 2026.

What’s next? you might ask… the ideal would be to present the work again here in Boorloo/Perth, as well to tour it nationally and internationally. I’ve already had interest from the Balkans and I’m currently preparing a touring package to ignite the interest of potential presenters. 

Wish me luck!

In Conversation with Matthew Morris - Until Falling Things Work 💙

In this edition of In Conversation, we shine a light on Until Falling Things Work, a new dance work by Matthew Morris, premiering at The Blue Room Theatre from 13th to 16th May. The architecture of our histories, the building blocks of our existence, is hidden between the cracks and visible to those who dare to see. This performance shares the stories of how one man’s life touches the world through poetic prose and dance. Moments in memory and time upend and suspend a life less ordinary. We caught up with Matthew Morris to dive into the creative process behind the work and what audiences can expect from this thrilling new production. 💥

Hello friends, arts colleagues and communities both near and far,

Firstly, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of you who have already donated, supported in various ways, booked tickets, and shared news of my new dance theatre performance, Until Falling Things Work. Your generosity and encouragement have meant so much.

I’m really excited to share that the initial fundraising goal of $5,000 through the Australian Cultural Fund is now almost reached. Reaching this milestone means I can now aim toward the full project budget of $12,000. These additional funds will go directly toward essential elements of the production, including artist fees, a new sound composition, lighting design, theatre technicians, rehearsal space, costumes, and documentation.

With just three weeks to go until production week and the premiere season,n 13–16 May 2026 @theblueroomtheatre , Boorloo/Perth, I’m entering a critical and energising phase of rehearsals with my collaborator and dramaturg, @alicehcummins . The set design by Andrew Stumpfel has just arrived, and the sound composition by @jostenmyburgh is nearly complete. These elements are already bringing new depth and texture to the work as we spend our days refining and shaping the performance. Three new important members of the team have joined us. Lighting Designer @j.covich.lx, Stage Manager @magicjakeball and co-producer @izzy_leclezio

If you’re in a position to support, I would be incredibly grateful for any contribution. Every donation helps bring this work fully to life and supports the artists and collaborators who are part of its creation. Sharing the project with others who may be interested is also a huge help.

To donate the link is in my bio

The campaign will remain open until one month after the production closes, allowing time for the work to resonate and for reflections on the performance to continue generating support.

Thank you again for being part of this journey. I would love to see you at the show if you’re able to attend.

With gratitude and warm wishes,

Step inside a world where movement evokes memory, language pulsates rhythm, and transformation is something you can feel in your bones. Until Falling Things Work is an intimate and arresting new work that confronts grief, solitude, love, and the enduring search for home with unflinching honesty and lyrical beauty.

At its centre stands a mature dancing body, boldly challenging assumptions about age, virtuosity, and visibility in contemporary performance.

Blending rhapsodic prose, improvisation, and articulate choreography, Morris crafts a performance that is both deeply personal and strikingly universal. Suspended between contradictions, tension and tenderness, body and mind, the arcane and the everyday, Until Falling Things Work reveals the raw material of a life well lived as movement and language intertwine. Choreography grows out of text, stories shape rhythm, and emotion drives form, creating a living conversation between word and body that disrupts, reveals, and invites audiences to witness how meaning emerges, dissolves, and reforms.

Until Falling Things Work is an invitation to slow down, to pay attention, and to meet the world through presence and connection. It is a performance where dance, sound and language become vessels for change.
