Inside the Memorial Hall in Sunbury, Andrew Nicolaides is delivering an unconventional, yet thunderous drum solo.
Surrounded by his peers of the BoilOver Performance Ensemble, Nicolaides is using state-of-the-art sensory technology to rehearse a section from the troupe’s upcoming performance entitled Buoy.
Established in 2009, BoilOver is the brainchild of Bernadette Hetherington who saw the need for an inclusive theatre company based in Sunbury, one that provided a creative outlet and professional skill development in a safe and supportive environment.
Buoy is the company’s newest work, which creative producer Carmen Maddison says was inspired by the performer’s experience of coronavirus lockdown and how their art brought balance to their lives.
