Welcome to Good Ways Homes and Living. The future is yours.
Home just not what it used to be? Ready for a new beginning? Ready for a seachange? We have a plan for the future, one where the waterways are open to those who dream large. Have you considered Melbourne’s Docklands?
Join us for an informative evening as we take you through the exciting possibilities Docklands holds. Be part of the change.
Created by Grub Theatre, Planning Atlantis looks at the corporate, environmental and community impacts of high rise development in the Docklands. Using a fake development agency, Good Ways Homes and Living, Planning Atlantis is a site-specific work based in the Docklands that seeks to examine the audience's interaction and knowledge of the space. Grub Theatre combines the everyday with the absurd to uncover what it truly means to be human, which Grub explores by abstracting ideas through the use of animals in performative settings. In Planning Atlantis, the key clients for Good Ways Homes and Living are fish who are being forced to leave the Great Barrier Reef due to effects of climate change. The work looks at how these large scale developments such as the ones happening in Docklands intersect with the environmental issues facing us today. Located within the Docklands the work presents a surreal and immersive way of engaging with this divisive space.
