SALAD DayS
COLLECTIVE.
Welcome to Salad Days! An interdisciplinary creative collective, created and headed by trained Queensland actors, Jasmine Prasser and Leo Buzac.
With three years of formal training from Tafe QLD / The University of Canberra, paired with experience on the screen and the stage, Jasmine and Leo together, form an ambitious, provocative and altogether confronting school of thought when it comes to creative storytelling.
Honouring the brilliant yet often overlooked pieces of theatre and embracing the challenge of never playing things safe, the collective is not only open to, but focused on collaborating and combining creative peoples, ideologies and works in order to step away from the notion that art should be dictated by ‘what will sell’.
Rather, Salad Days Collective wants to grasp and embody a new measure of success manifested by redefining creative achievement as a process and not a result; the outcome of success is already located within the opportunity to create strong and challenging work.
Brisbane based performance collective. Est 2023.

MUD By Maria Irene Fornes
@ PIP Theatre
13th - 22nd MARCH, 2025.
“Stark. Beautiful. Empowering.”
“Mae lives in feverish poverty on a farm with her not-brother Lloyd. Mae knows she deserves a better life. Mae knows she can have one. And in an effort to excavate herself from this dreary existence, Mae is going to school and Mae is learning things!
But Lloyd doesn’t like that. Lloyd is simple. He’d much rather continue living in the pig pen instead. But when he falls sick and a keen Mae enlists the help of ‘distinguished’ neighbour Henry - everything changes. Will Mae be able to pull herself from the MUD or is she already STUCK?”
