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.

LOVE By Patricia Cornelius

“this play grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go”
— The Guardian

“Tanya, Annie and Lorenzo are at the bottom of the heap. They're young but already the youth has been wrung out of them. They've been abused, they're abusive and they're difficult to like, let alone love. But it is love in all its distorted and mutated forms that holds them together.”

International critically acclaimed Australian Writer Patricia Cornelius made waves with the debut of this play in 2005 at HOTHOUSE theatre in Victoria for its bite and unapologetic exploration into the Australian underbelly of classism, sexism and drug abuse.

Almost 20 years later, SDC has the privelege of bringing it back on the QLD stage with a story we feel now, is more prominent than ever…
