The Flying Nun is a showcase of the outcomes from Performing Arts residencies with Brand X at the East Sydney Community and Arts Centre.
By its very nature, we celebrate the fringe, alternative and contemporary counter-culture, contributing multi-disciplinary creative risk-taking to the East Sydney Creative Precinct. Come and be the first audience to witness new work fresh out of the rehearsal room and by doing so, support Independent Artists with income and feedback to propel the work on to stages across Sydney.
Purchase an "On-Demand Broadcast Link" for $10 and you will be emailed information on how to access a private viewing of the shows from the 2020 season. Invite your friends over for a viewing party and enjoy the show from the comfort of your couch.

Part seance, part confessional, part spectral hooley. All welcome, dead or alive. Tickets available for on-demand: $10 Read more
