Wallaby Blue Company is a Boorloo/Perth based theatre and production company.
FootyBoy bridges the divide between sports attendees and theatre lovers. These communities are isolated from each other with contrasting demographics in the WA cultural landscape. FootyBoy’s performance outcome and creative process flips AFL conventions on its head, showing alternative narratives surrounding gender identity and sexuality in sport.
Wallaby Blue Company have initiated collaborations with local football clubs to engage a new generation of football lovers in theatre. They want to emphasise that young people can be passionate about both theatre and sport, challenging stereotypes and addressing the inaccessibility of the arts on WA stages.
