About this listen

 Emerald Hill Coffee Palace is a collection of 6 audio works distributed free as podcasts and which are creative responses to the history of the Emerald Hill Temperance Hall site, the Temperance movement, and the building itself. Since it’s original construction it has been a bastion of creative thinking and activity and this collection aims to honour that. As you sit in one of the local cafes and sip your coffee of choice, have a listen to some of the ideas and impulses which have sprung from the people connected to this wonderful old building. Have a laugh with the mocha or the frappe. Get a fix of history with our espresso or flat white. Take a lyrical journey with a cappuccino. There is even a bobbaccino for the kids! This project was created across the lands of the Australian Aboriginal people and we are honoured to be sharing in their storytelling tradition and has been made possible through the support of The City of Port Phillip and Arts Access Victoria Thrive Creative Grants for deaf and disabled artists.Bronwyn Dunston Art Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts Literary History & Criticism

    Phillip Adam's Ballet Lab is the current tenant at the Temperance Hall. The journey to establish the company and find somewhere to explore and create has been a long one for Mr P and his company. Now, though, they have found a safe harbour and invested time, care, and money to restore the building to a state of grace, community and creativity. This is a poetic cycle in four songs echoing the story of Mr P and his Ballet Lab.

    The Temperance Hall on Napier Street has been a performance venue for most of its history. In the 1990s it was known as Napier Street Theatre and ran as a venue for hire. Here we present a fun parody of the well-known musical, Phantom of the Opera, in celebration of the shenanigans which went on there. It was inspired by a story about the day when a sewing machine was plugged in and blew a fuse, leaving the venue in total blackout.

    FEATURING: Jo Boyd, Daniel Brasher, April Garreffa, Josh Hayes, Scott Knight, and Damian Vuleta. Written by Samsara Theme music by MBRYO

    In 1980 a daring Frenchman created the Australian Nouveau Theatre as a place to explore European drama in an Australia-centric Melbourne theatre scene. In 1981 the Temperance Hall became their home and took on the name Anthill Theatre. It remained theirs until 1992 when they relocated to an unsuitable habitat and became extinct. Our improvisation honours this heritage with Pirandello's study on madness (Enrico IV) as the starting point. Goodness only knows where it will end though...
