EFFECTING SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
Milk Crate Theatre provides opportunities for people whose voices are under-represented to engage in artistic practice to build confidence, skills and connections; and shares bold and resonant stories to build empathy and break down barriers.
​
We are the leading arts organisation in Australia working in the unique intersection of the arts, homelessness, mental health, and disability, providing professional development pathways and opportunities for collaborative artists to engage in creative practices as both performers and theatre and film creators of works.

Mental Health Wellbeing Tips:
​
-
Spend time outside in fresh air, walking or just enjoying nature is a great boost to our well-being
-
Keep hydrated – carry a water bottle with you, it’s free and your body needs water to function
-
Be sure focus on good quality sleep and being aware if we haven’t slept well, how that might impact our wellbeing.
-
Breathe – taking time to focus on your breathing can make a huge difference to your mental and physical health (breathing exercises below)
-
Be kind to yourself, the holidays can be a difficult time if we are away from friends and family, our social activities have maybe closed for the holidays and our community is a little bit quieter than usual.
-
Social media Christmas is not real life, most people are not sat around a huge Christmas tree in matching pyjamas opening extravagant gifts. Have your Christmas your way, just be safe and enjoy.
-
This time of year, can make us feel isolated with lots of activities and supports closed for the holidays, so if you need a friendly ear, call one of the support services listed below.
