Press play to get a taste of opening night at Love for One Night, and hear why people love this show.

The Love for One Night rehearsal room has been filled with laughter, mischief and a whole lot of creative energy as the team bring a fresh perspective to this much-loved NORPA production.

With the Eltham Hotel recreated inside The Joinery, they’re mapping out the movement, cameras, projections and every detail of the show. Take a peek inside the rehearsal room in this behind-the-scenes video, where we’ve captured a little of the action.

THANKS

Thank you to all artists, story sharers and workshop participants, Uncle Kenn ‘Fox’ Laurie and the Yaegl Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation for their permission and support to film on Country.

Commissioned and Produced by NORPA as part of the project Dinner Party at the End of the World. Interviews were held at The Joinery, NORPA’s new home on Bundjalung country.

NORPA acknowledges the Bundjalung and Yaegl peoples as the traditional custodians of the unceded lands and waters on which these films were created.

This project was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
