Trades Hall and the Magic of Independent Theatre

Come along to get a glimpse behind the curtain of Melbourne’s vibrant indie theatre scene, sharing a decade’s worth of magic (and tragic) theatre memories and connecting you with opportunities to immerse yourself in that scene year-round. If you’re curious about how art gets made beyond our city’s grandest theatres – in all its messy, silly, and delightful glory – then this 60-minute walking tour of Trades Hall is for you.

While every effort will be made to accommodate mobility levels, please note the tour will involve approximately 3km of walking, including across uneven surfaces.

This project was produced in collaboration with the 2025 Being Human Festival.
