Freeroam Theatre Incorporated is a not-for-profit theatre company working at the core of a vibrant arts sector in Wagga Wagga and the Riverina, on Wiradjuri land.
Since its establishment in 2020, Freeroam have strived to provide connection and accessibility for regional creatives, develop skills within local communities, and empower the creative industries within the Riverina.
Freeroam Theatre is led by young, skilled artists with the belief that to see, experience and understand the creative arts is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, and not limited by locality. This is why Freeroam have taken an inclusive and holistic approach to providing professional and educational opportunities to artists in regional areas, particularly within Wagga Wagga and the Riverina.
Already Freeroam have contributed greatly to the growth and strength of the creative scene through regular projects and workshops, which bring artists, students, and businesses together to foster a strong cultural connection.
One of their core focuses is to increase access and inclusion for regional artists, who are heavily disadvantaged in comparison to the wealth of opportunities and resources provided to their fellow artists in large metropolitan areas. Their projects increase job opportunities and encourage collaboration with local businesses, and the educational component of the company ensures the upskilling of the next generations of artists.
With a drive to create innovative, fresh and modern works within our season of shows, we aim to have one Australian show and one self-devised show each year as a part of our main season.
Freeroam Theatre acknowledges the Wiradjuri people as the traditional owners of the land on which we live, work, and create. We pay our respects to all elders of the past, present, and those yet to come.
We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs, and connection with the land and rivers. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Wiradjuri and First Nations communities.
We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
